Basket Blues

Saturday Salutations , Sweet friends. 

Graphic from Pinterest

I have found that while traveling , applique is the easiest type of project to work on especially while traveling in a truck camper.   

Little Baskets are in the works. ( I am not sure what the name of the quilt will be though.😀)

 I appliqued these blocks while Mr. Pinker explored the mountain side. 

 I  prepped this project a few months ago. I believe I will applique red baskets on a blue background and blue baskets on a yellow background- at least that's my idea today. 

 I am going to keep it short and sweet and leave you with a few small basket quilts that I have worked on in the past.  

Have a "blueautiful day! " 💙💙💙

A vintage quilt that I hope to put in the hoop in the near future. 

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all
