It's A Wrap ~ Basket Bands

I stitched up something a little different this time. This was my first try at a basket band or wrap and I ended up making two of them. For this round nantucket basket I used some tea stained linen and used seam binding for a tie in the back. The patten is part of a Stacy Nash Primitives Sampler but I had to redesign it a bit and make it smaller so that it would fit on the band. I added the ABC to give it more of a school girl sampler feel.


This is the second one I stitch up using some stitch band that I had in my stash. These were a lot of fun and pretty easy to do. And I just love Stacy's fancy peacock.

Thanks for taking a look and Happy stitching.

It looks great, and I just LOVE the finish with the ribbon tie. I tried something like this last year with an M Designs chart that I really loved, but I fluffed the finish-finishing. Ribbon! Brilliant!
