Building on a relationship-- one suggestion is to make an offer (better in e-mail or letter so she can re-read and re-think her reply) to buy one of her baskets as a gift for someone you know, someone that she does not know. Show her you are proud of her work, and acknowledge her creativity. That is a grand gesture that she cannot ignore. Just don't defeat yourself by bargaining for a discount price!!!! Good luck! Some things cannot be hurried...

as has already been said small steps and things will get better in time.
it took me over 30 years to even get an hallo from my father inlaw, and 33 years to convince my MIL that I wasn't what she thought of me. after I helped to shower her and do little jobs for her after her operation, but she still went to the grave saying I tricked her son into marrying me, it must be the longest trick in history as we have now been married for 46 years. her oldest son still hates me but he hates everyone so that is his problem. he is even turning his own children away from him by the way he shouts at everyone, I am sure he will burst his boiler soon,
it is so sad when people behave badly everyone suffers one way or another.
