At David's suggestion, I decided to make napkins out of the the pieces I dyed in at the Vermont Quilt Festival - that was fun once I got the hang of it, and we are just going to use them as everyday napkins.
This basket belonged to my Great Grandma Una Fisher in West Virginia. It's one of my favorite things and embodies wabi sabi.... old, well loved and well used, and showing the crafter's skill and artistry, the use of natural materials. Utilitarian and beautiful - a great combo.
