A Tisket, A Tasket...

Cheri Payne has an online Facebook group that I belong to and she has offered some of her older patterns to the group to enjoy.  This pattern was originally done as a red work piece but I decided to do it in wool and change up the stitching bordering the piece.

 Cheri has A Tisket, A Tasket, Red work Baskets... around them.  I decided to make a basket for each season.  All my baskets are made with wool that I felted from thrift store garments I bought.  The only new wool is the yellow and pink Cone flower pieces.

 A Tisket, A Tasket, A Baskets for Every Season...I realized my error after finishing the piece.

 When I do Stitchery I like signing the front of the piece.

 Spring Basket filled with budding shoots.

 Summer Basket with a blooming Cone flower.

 Autumn has a fading Cone flower.

Winter has an empty basket with a snowflake on it.  I'm in the process of hand quilting this piece and will show another picture once it is finished.

I thought the rainbow homespun worked well to frame the piece.
