Project Basket


"Project Basket" by Leanne Beasley

I really don't know why I struggle with the smaller makes sometimes.
I have had this project in the works for a while and now it's finished I LOVE it.
Why did it take me so long?


I couldn't find the same sized basket as the pattern so had to do some math and make this fit my smaller basket.  It is made with a Blue Linen which was also a bit testing as its an open weave linen. Parlan on the back did help a lot though.


In the end though I am very pleased with how it has turned out.
I purchased two baskets so who knows, there may be another in my future :o)


Thanks for stopping by,
hugs Sharon
