a dainty spring folk art basket......





wool applique on cotton......
couched over embroidery floss for stems....
added some embroidery touches, featherstitching on leaves, chain stitch around flower centers and a half featherstitch on basket......
I used Soft Fuse on my wool applique pieces, steaming them in place on cotton background.....
primitive overcast stitch with YLI Quilting Thread was used to stitch down applique pieces and for the embroidery stitches.....
simple and sweet.....
