Hello All! I must be channeling Lyn or vice versa! I too saw an opportunity for creatively saving money on a bicycle basket but I didn't plan to do all the work myself. Lyn, you're an over-achiever!! On Sat. I was in Waterford, PA in a little antique shop & was looking over her fine selection of vintage lace & linens when the air raid/tornado siren went off. Heck yes--it was a tornado & a monstrous, funky black saucer shaped cloud that looked like an alien space ship passed near the downtown with thready funnel shapes dangling from it. Horizontal rain, hail & waves in the street. Needless to say, as soon as it passed I headed for home without purchasing anything but this place is worth a return trip with lace doilies & lace trimmed embroidered items for $2-3 each. My thought was to make a patchwork of vintage pieces & cover a new or used basket. Sort of like the cloth lining on a picnic basket except on the outside. Here in Millcreek Township, the recreation center runs basket making classes & they are free for seniors! The same guy that taught me to cane a chair seat teaches the baskets & other types of weaving. Although I don't own a bike, it sure would make a clever & personal gift. Hmmm. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA where it will be 90* on Wed so I'd better finish planting my flowers tomorrow
