After my setback with my sister's unfinished top I decided to get going straight away on another project to reboost my confidence level. Here's the result: Two reversible placemats and a matching basket for our dining table. ... Can you tell I like blue?
The top is made with upholstery fabric and the bottom with some navy honeycomb fabric (of the kind you use for kitchen towels). I used my own design (though of course I'm taking no credit for the idea... I had seen some fabric baskets like this in a shop a few weeks ago, decided I HAD to make some, and studied carefully how they were made).
The perspective in the first pic makes the basket appear smaller than it is really, so here is a close-up:
This is to put the daily French baguette in!

Those are very nice! I love the basket! Although, my cat would eat the ribbons. ;p I like the colors and that's very pretty fabric. You need to start a gallery of all your projects. :D - Kim
Wow... the colour and fabric design is gorgeous.
Very talented... I doubt I could do something anywhere as nice as that!
Keep up the good work - I'm sure your top will look stunning once you've got it how you want it.... A piccy would be good!

Thank you! :) Now I feel confident enough to make some as Christmas presents for my brother and sisters!
