Pine Needle Basketry by Vicki Phillips

Inspirational Baskets


Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Canada and
the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona.

Our Lady of Good Voyage Chapel in Roche Harbor, Washington and
the Arctic Cathedral in Tromso, Norway.

I made these baskets for the current "Going to the Chapel" exhibit at the Harbor History Museum and they were inspired by some of the chapels, churches and cathedrals that I have been blessed to visit around the world. Regardless of the size of these sacred buildings, where they are located or what religion is represented, I felt the same sense of peace and hope at each one of them. My photos don't do justice to these beautiful and remarkable structures, especially to the ones that have stood through many wars and have existed since Medieval times. Enjoy!

Stavanger Cathedral in Stavanger, Norway and
the Chapel of the Transfiguration in Grand Teton National Park.

 First Lutheran Church in Poulsbo, Washington and
St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle and a church that I can't remember the name of that we walked by everyday in our Shepherd's Bush neighborhood in west London.
