Yes, I was pretty pleased with the results, so much so that I thought, "why stop there?" Jesse and I had discussed creating a gallery wall in the nursery using artwork and fabrics. The left over fabrics framed in embroidery hoops are perfect and since Jesse is a girl who, like me adores doilies, I added a couple I picked up at a thrift store....
This baby gift was totally "me" and I am delighted to say, very much appreciated by my cousin.
I can't wait to see them in "sweet baby girl's" finished room.
With more cousin's babies on the way, I think I'll be making a few more of these fabrics baskets (but not until after the holidays!!!) I may even make a few for my office....
Have you ever created a handmade gift for an important occasion? I would love to hear your stories and see the fruits of your labor!
I am plugging away at my to do list, ever so slowy getting things checked off. Yesterday I thought I was finished wrapping gifts and then Fed Ex made a delivery.... Add to that the fact that my youngest just gave me his wish list... 'Tis the season!
I am linking this little project up to Suzy's party...
Does your room need a “prescription” for a change of decor, function or design?
If so please contact me, I would love to help your room feel better with a Design Concept Board or a complete Room Rx.

Those area great! So cute! I've been wanting to make fabric boxes for awhile, but couldn't find a tutorial. I'll definitely be trying these after the holiday.
Stylish, functional and personalized - the perfect gift, Cathy!
I love these photos you Posted of my beautiful gift ... you're so talented!! I opened the packages so quickly and didnt take my time to look at them as a whole- so seeing them in the photos, all put together is SO fun!! Thank you for the MOST amazing handmade gift xoxo
These are such a great idea, Cathy. THe baskets look perfect and the hoops is such a neat idea for the walls. Must make a note of these. THx for sharing.
I love these and they are going to be so cute in the nursery. I actually have a few of these marked in my Etsy favorites, but now that you gave a tutorial link maybe I'll try that one of these days. I have a baby shower coming up in a few months for a good friend and will be making her something homemade - this will be a contender, especially since I know her fabrics. A great shower gift indeed!
Hi all,
Baskets have been used by generations of mothers needing a safe, portable place for their little ones to sleep away the afternoon. Creating a Moses basket for your child or as a unique gift takes only a few hours of time but leaves lasting memories. Thanks for sharing it.....
So cool! I love that they can be personalized with whatever fabric you wish!
What great projects and you chose beautiful fabrics Cathy! Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas!
