June Monthly Mini

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but I fear I am dangerously close to the edge! Where did June go?



A few weeks ago I opened my mail to find a delightful surprise. Knowing how much I love tiny quilts with tiny pieces, Pam Buda (Heartspun Quilts) sent me her “Tiny Baskets” pattern.

Pam’s patterns are so well written and precise, it was a cinch to follow. You can find the pattern (here) and it includes all 3 of the quilts pictured.

 I made this little one first. I have the dime on there to show you the scale (and admittedly to cover up the fact that that point didn’t quite line up!). I used one of my favorite Pam Buda fabrics for the border and binding and one of her fun stripes on the back.


I decided to call it “Hummingbird” as it would be hard to fit any other type of egg in that basket!

 The other 2 are on my “to do” list and will show up as a monthly mini in the future.

 I’m linking up all the usual mini makers. I know you will want to see what is in their basket this month!

  1. Oh, look how sweet! Love this little basket, and what a fun name for it. I was tempted to make that little basket for my monthly mini, but had to use a work in progress instead, which may not be ready to post until tomorrow.

  2. I should have made something from that pattern! Would have something to show for June! But I got bogged down and on hot days I can’t work in my sewing room upstairs….so there are my excuses/reasons instead of product!,

  5. You are certainly thinking mini with this one and "Little Basket" is the perfect name.

  6. Triangles smaller than a dime, yikes! My eyes don't see that small, much less my clunky fingers. But what a beautiful creation. I love the pattern too but would have to increase the size. And just look at all the quilters joining in, this is wonderful!
