We’ve been away and I neglected to look at my calendar … groan! My friend, Anja (from Anja Quilts) sent me a friendly reminder that I was hosting TGIFF this week. Oh dear!! What to do???
Well, unknown to the rest of the world, I have a container of ‘stuff to do’ that’s mostly quick and easy. This container has gone to many many retreats with me. I thought, “I wonder if there’s something in there I can do?”
Sure enough, there was!! YAY!! In the container, all the supplies were there, including the appropriate coloured thread to make two Petit Four Baskets!
If you’ve never made a byAnnie bag or worked with Soft and Stable, these Petit Four Baskets are a great way to get started. You can access the pattern and the free video HERE.
In an afternoon, both baskets were done. I will use one basket at the ironing board (where I tend to clip things) and another at the sewing machine (to put the clips in as I sew!)
Basket Stats:
- Size: 4″ x 5″ and 2 1/2” tall
- Fabric used: left-over 10″ squares from various Island Batik (Lumin Fabrics) projects
- Inside: byAnnie Soft & Stable
- Thread: Aurifil

Well now I need to make 2 more petit fours! I have two in my long arm drawer that hole loose items, but I am continually putting clips on somewhere else and then needing to drop them off at the machine. This is a perfect solution!
