I am only a beginner......

Two Easter baskets I made for my daughters. I saw the design by other 'cuties' so took the plunge and purchased the design (Emblibrary) and was ery pleased with it. The purple basket was very 'frustrating' but eventually got it done. This photo was take before I starched them.

Those baskets are beautiful! I made the rabbit one a couple of years back (was my first big FSL project) and found it very hard to get the thing properly in shape after stiffening. And I still don't know the best way to do it!

at the moment I enjoy 'baby' items (bibs/blankets), because lace seems very daunting! It is very intereting to complete though

Well done Nikki, I too made the purple one and yes it was a bit of a challenge in the embroidery, but it went together reasonably well.
I'm sure your daughters loved them.
Cheers, Claire

The designs I found to be great, I suspect the 'problems' I encountered were from my lack of knowledge so in saying that I'm guessing for someone experienced they would be quite easy.
Thankyou
