regarding bread basket cloth, I found this posted two years ago by someone identified as Katydid. (I hope she doesn't mind me passing along. I made one for a friend and it's super easy...If you wanted to present it in a fun way, you could provide a basket and then a loaf of homemade bread or maybe a mix.. You could also made a coordinating hot pad or two. .Here are instructions I found from Katydid:: On a piece of paper cut 18 1/2" square. also make a 6" across circle and fold in half. Now take half circle and place in middle of each side and trace around inner edge. That's the pattern Cut from 2 coordinating fabrics. Stitch leaving about a 4" opening to turn right side out and stitch opening closed. If you like,insert jumbo rickrack or piping, it makes it twice as easy to turn I pressed really good after turning right side out and then stitched all around when I closed the opening.

I also have an embroidery machine if that helps. Thanks !

My ex sister in law gave me a scissors holder one year. It was very simple, most likely she purchased it, even though she did sew. It was a cream colored quilted potholder that was turned to make a cone type triangle. Then hotglued together and had my favorite color of eyelet lace glued on the edges with buttons down the front for added directions. I will try and get a pic. and post it if I can remember how to post a pic. It may take awhile, may not get to it until tomorrow as it's late and I have a several things to get done for Church tomorrow, iron a blouse, and finish my snacks for our Christmas Brunch, run the washer and dryer etc. if you know what I mean. But I will try to get it done by tomorrow afternoon.
