Carry Petals in a Pot of Gold

  To the right is a fabric covered, hand crafted flower girl basket in shades of gold, originally designed by The Wildfire Seamstress. (It matches the beading design and fabric color of a ring pillow also available on ebay-a perfect coordinating set!)

This basket is small, about 6"x4", in an oval shape. The handle is 6", and covered with light gold fabric, wrapped in gold chiffon ribbon. The interior of the basket is handstitched and of a deeper gold hue. The edge of the basket is beaded with round glass beads, gold and golden brown in a 2-5 alternating pattern.
I made this to match the Gold Flower ring Bearer pillow, but this could be used alone if your theme colors included pale gold (almost a champagne), or the deeper gold shade on the interior, or another pillow could be created.  I am going to start making more designs of pillows in color groupings so it will be easier to match items together.
I made this basket by covering an existing wovwn basket with the appropriate shape fabric.  I pieced it by machine, but hand stitched the fabric once it was on the basket, so it would fit perfectly .                                                            Click on this image for a larger pop-up.
