June ‘20 Pattern

Posted by Joanna on 3 Comments

In olden days, a “keeping room” was the center of a colonial home. It was warmed by the fireplace and most of life’s activity took place in that small room. Baskets were woven and hung on pegs or placed on mantels to keep much of the necessary clutter handy yet out of sight. Our version of a Mantelpiece Basket will work wonderfully in your primitive decor.

Thank you so much for your free patterns. Your work is beautiful and I can only hope to produce something half as lovely, but your lovely patterns provide inspiration. Thank you so much for this gift.

Everything I’ve read, I love!  I’ve been basket weaving for 30 years and I enjoyed every word.
