Victorian Wicker Heart Basekt

Cold temperatures didn't keep the Central Pennsylvania Basket Weavers Guild from enjoying the first weaving gathering of 2017.

Using a pattern by Laura Lee Zanger each member wove a heart basket using reed colors of their choice . 

Round reed is laid out in an interlocking pattern to form the base. The heart shape is set with a twining locking row before turning up the spokes to twine the side. The heart is finished with a braided border.  The finished dimensions are 9" wide x 8" long x 2" high.
