Another week come and gone, seems time flies by lately and there is never enough time in the day to get it all done. I was able to make a new piece from a free design by Cheri Saffiote. You can get some of her designs and share pieces made from her patterns on her Facebook Page.
This week I made A Tiskat a Tasket. The original pattern is a stitchery pillow but I wanted to do the baskets in wool. Of course I add to change a few other items and the type of stitchery and then I went with a new saying on mine. I love doing patterns that you can change up to fit your own likes.
This is going on my wall for a spring piece, love how it came out.
I also finished Nick's photo album. The booklet might be a card holder, not really sure but the slots are smaller. I liked it because it was real leather, so soft and thin enough to put in his bag and only three dollars. Here are a few photos, great idea for a child's picture book, especially for Grandparents who are far away.
I decided to use my card stock for the photos, it was easier and stiff enough to fit in the slots.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and Easter with their family. I am still trying to figure out dinner, Bill is coughing again, so I may go simple and do shish kabobs. I took a photo of Danielle's gravesite. We got her a Hydrangea bush for Easter and planted it next to the stone, leaving room for growth. I used that to make up a photo for her page and thought I would share it here.
May this Easter bring Joy and Blessings to you and your families.

Love your new baskets stitchery! Perfect!! Love hydrangeas. Look beautiful by the gravestone. <3
Your wool interpretation of Cheri's stitchery pattern is wonderful, I've been planning a similar idea and glad see how yours worked out.
I'm working on a couple Spring/Easter ideas based on Cheri's designs and hope to have them finished soon.
The photo of Danielle's grave is lovely and peaceful.. Have a lovely Easter Debbie.
Your wall hanging is beautiful, Debbie! It's a beautiful photo that you posted to Danielle's page. I think Nick is going to miss his grandparents and Bean very much while he's away - the photo album you've made will help him remember you.
Have a nice Easter. k
Time might be flying by fast but you sure do post more finishes in a week's time than I do. Happy Easter to you as well.
Love your little baskets! Happy Easter to you.
I love your woolie baskets and hope to make a similar one...thanks to YOU! Such inspiration! Nick's photo album is a brilliant idea. He can carry you around in his backpack!! What a lovely headstone and grave site...so tranquil and peaceful. Have a wonderful Easter and all the best!

I love that Tisket a Tasket pattern - your little quilt looks wonderful! And that booklet for Nick is perfect. I think it was very smart to use cardstock, they'll hold up to handling. The picture for Danielle is just stunning, Debbie. Big hugs, my dear!
