About this Product
This rope basket is made from over 30 yards of fabric rope which took a long time to make. The twisting and weaving of the fabric scraps created the unique blend of colors that formed once they were sewn into the shape of the basket. Rather than leaving it plain, an intricate knot was fashioned to finish off the basket for a unique look. Whether you have the need for a vessel that holds fruit or napkins or toys or towels, the ideas are endless.
Tower Creations by Madeline
Meet the Maker
I’ve always loved creating, with a philosophy of renew, redo, and repurpose. My work includes scarves with a unique edging technique, fabric baskets, soft fabric pins, and repurposed treasures like wooden spool scissor holders and chipped china jewelry trays.
Driven by both sustainability and imagination, I transform scraps and vintage finds into functional art while also designing new, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each creation is made with care, carrying its own quiet story of transformation.
Inspired by the meaning of my name, Madeline, I see my work as a tower—grounded in strength, elevated by creativity, and open to light. I’m deeply grateful for my supportive husband, our blended family of four children, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren—my greatest motivators. And of course, Ollie, our four-legged house boss, who graciously allows us to share her home.
How it’s Made
After following in my Daddy's footsteps, my granddaughter went to LSU (Louisiana State University) to get her undergrad degree. So, of course I made her things and had plenty of scraps. I chose to take them and make fabric rope. I knew I wanted to make a large basket, so I needed to make more than 30 yards of fabric rope. Yes, a LOT of patience was involved but it was worth it. I knew I wanted a knotty embellishment, so I got carried away and made something goes everywhere.
