Essential Dots Sage by Moda - border and bow on handle
Farmer's Market Large Basket Weave Brown by RJR - basket

I decided to try the blender fabrics in the bundle, called Mary's Blenders. I ADORE THESE colors! They are subtle and yet rich. I used them for the decorated eggs. And I was very happy to have stashed away the Basket Weave fabric ... for "someday".

The eggs were fun to make with their tiny triangles! 
The bow on the basket looked a little "plain", so I decided to add a yoyo
to it to liven it up!
