Folk art basket

I thought I had just about finished this folk art basket by Button Angel yesterday. However when I went to turn it inside out and finish it, I realised there were six leaves not stitched down. Hmm. Do last night I unpicked it and have remedied my mistakes this morning.

I mostly followed the pattern but made a few adjustments as I went:

I made the basket round rather than oval

Some circles I replaced with buttons

Stems were made out of ribbon

And I used fabric for the appliqué rather than wool felt.
