I used some precious stash: two Laurie Wisbrun favorites. This year, I am trying to not hold back when it comes to using my favorite fabrics.
The pattern was pretty straightforward and I like their structured look. The donkey one looks a little better because it was my second one. I found that using a free-arm is pretty essential to make the top look neat.
Requiring a full yard of the interfacing and fusible fleece is quite generous - expect to have a lot leftover. having such a surplus didn't bother me though, as it meant one less repeat trip to Joann's.
I lined the baskets with some Madrona Road and a nursery line called Little Things. Aren't those grey raindrops perfect with the donkeys?!
A head cold and a very early wake-up resulted in Nick staying home from church with the kids, so no cute dresses or suit picture this year.
I hope everyone else had a nice weekend and lovely Easter.

Belated Easter wishes!
These baskets are just beautiful!!
Soooo cute! The booted donkeys are too much!
Those baskets are adorable!! I, too, adore everything LW designs. :) I'm sorry you were missing family, but love that you have such a great outlet in sewing to bring you out of your funk. :)
My schedule is a little off-kilter, but if you ever want to grab lunch or meet at a park so the kids can play, let me know! :)
Laurie! Such cute baskets! If it makes you feel any better, I've been missing having you here. I even renamed the playground by your old place in your honor. It's just not as fun to go to the Laurie Memorial Park when you're not there.
Those fabrics work perfectly for the baskets! So cute.
