Victorian Christmas Sleigh


I love this basket. Don't I say that about all my baskets? The title of this pattern is "Victorian Christmas Sleigh". It is an advanced basket that I wove from a pattern written by Mary Skillings. I even taught this as a class several years ago to students who had been weaving with me for a while. The runners are #7 round reed. The jingle bells on the loops add a sweet touch to ring in that Santa is coming. This year I have it sitting up above my kitchen cabinets and it just makes me smile every time I see it.

Enjoy!

Love,

Nancy

    I'm way behind, but I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I have a granddaughter who will be getting a sewing machine soon, so I'd like to make a little sewing basket with a lid for her accessories..any idea where I could find a basket pattern for this? TIA!
