Here’s what we’re working on in the 1840 Farm Studio. Click on a photo to enlarge.
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?
Remember the lovely blue and yellow basket I was working on this morning? It turned out beautifully. I think that it looks even more fantastic when paired with another basket made in the same fabric collection. Don't you agree?
There's something so lovely about how this combination of fabric and thread came together. The salmon colored fiddlehad spiral is tough to beat! You can get a closer look through the link to our shop right on our profile. #farmhousestyle #basket #fabri
