This patchwork basket was made using snippets from eight past basket projects. It's really no wonder that it is so unique and such an interesting combination of colors and patterns!
When this patchwork basket is finished, it will include snippets of handwrapped cord from eight of our past basket projects. I hope that you're ready for a very unique and colorful basket!
These baskets were all shipped out during the last few days. Five of them were holiday baskets, the last of them for the year. Don't worry, we'll bring them back again next year. Until then, we'll keep stitching and sharing new baskets with you. We just
This Easter Basket is ready to hold all sorts of holiday goodies. It's perfectly sized for chocolate bunnies and treats or Easter eggs for the table or an egg hunt. I can't wait to send it off to be a part of someone's Easter celebration for years to come

First up at the sewing machine this morning...
I am planning to work on a fresh crop of baskets, trivets, and coasters for our shop this weekend. Is there something specific you're hoping to see me add? Let me know what's on your wish list by leaving me a comment and I will do my best to stitch it
You may have noticed that the inventory of handmade baskets in our shop has been slim lately. We're making new baskets every day, but they are selling faster than we can make them. Many of them have sold within the first five minutes and others haven't
My lunch break is over and I am stitching this lovely combination of fabrics into an egg basket for our shop. Stay tuned for photos of the finished basket!
A member of our 1840 Farm Community named this style of basket for us. Serendipity seems like the perfect way to describe this lovely combination of random colors and patterns. I hope that you like it as much as I do because it is destined for our Etsy Sh
We're midway through an 85 hour snowstorm. In between clearing away snow, I will be settling in at the sewing machine to stitch up a few baskets. Here's the basket that is on the sewing machine right now. Isn't it lovely?
I just added Small Table Basket #0448 to our shop. I love this combination of fabrics in chocolate brown, sage green, cinnamon, wisteria, and tan with just a touch of buttercup yellow. This basket has two contrasting colors of stitching with sage green

I'm not sure that our local post office is ready for the pre storm 1840 Farm shipment!
A few of our most popular product ideas have been generated by our 1840 Farm Community. You asked for fabric trivets and coasters and they have been a hit with our customers. Then you asked for a basket that had longer handles to be carried over your wr
The sun is shining through my studio window as I watch these beautiful fabrics go around and around at the sewing machine. Songbirds and happy hens are providing the soundtrack and an extra cup of coffee is coming in handy to get me going in the right dir
It's a custom order kind of day here in the studio. Baskets, Mason jar candy sets for Valentine's Day, and a new crop of handmade dryer balls. It's shaping up to be a very busy day! #1840farm #handmade #fabric #sew #basket #masonjar #valentine #etsy #ets
I just added Small Table Basket #0460 to our shop. This one combines beautiful fall colors in browns, orange, green, and eggplant. I think that it would be lovely on a Thanksgiving table. That makes four new baskets added to our shop today. I'm read

A rainy afternoon seems like the perfect reason to settle in at the sewing machine.
This color combination was very popular last weekend. Baskets were selling before I could even finish them! So, let's start this weekend off in the same way as last weekend. Here's what I'm working on at the sewing machine right now...
I just added 1840 Farm Gift Certificates to our shop. Thanks to your input, I included an option to select fabric or twine to be used when making each certificate. We can make these in any denomination and take the guesswork out of choosing a gift for s
The very first Valentine's Day Heart Shaped Basket is leaving the studio today. I decided that it needed an appropriately festive thank you card and recipe card to go along with it. They're both decorated with a simple barn red heart with white stitchin

Our Farmhouse Style Mason Jar Kits are rounding into form. Look closely and you'll see a bit of chicken wire to hold blooms in place. I hope to begin adding these kits to our shop this week in a variety of colors. I love this set in chocolate brown, tur

I am applying discounts to every item from our Berry Collection in our Etsy Shop. We need to make room for the Fall Collection to join the shop later this week. Quantities are limited, but all of the fabric and paper items are on sale through Wednesday.
Today is the order deadline for guaranteed pre-Christmas delivery of custom order items from our Etsy Shop. I think that makes it the perfect day to add gift certificates to our shop, don't you? With a gift certificate, there's no need to worry about ha
