Welcome to the cyber home of The Workbasket, specializing in designs inspired from traditional needlework and nature itself. We offer cross stitch designs as well as needlepoint canvasses, punch needle kits and special limited offer kits. Please continue opening our pages to find out more about our company, ourselves and our designs. Let us inspire you with something from our Workbasket for your workbasket. 5 February, 2010 Mary and I are busy getting ready for the 2010 Nashville Market and we are so excited to see all of you again and show you our new designs. We have five new designs as well as a Yahoo group to join for your shop. More on that later.... O Morning Star is one of Mary's quilt-inspired creations. She chose shades of aqua and brown and blue to stitch this wonderful design. It is complete with a few lines from a hymn. Sun Sampler and Sunny Side is a chart of two sayings--One saying is based on a hymn--"Jesus mine in me shine" and the other on a popular song/saying "Walk on the sunny side, stay on the sunny side of life." The chart is full of suns and sunny motives. It is sure to brighten your life. Quaker Mermaid and Quaker Whale--Quaker Maritimes--is our newest in the continuing Quaker series. It is a whale of a chart, ha, ha. Mary has done it again with another large house based on a season--Summer Farm House. This is a lovely chart with a farmhouse surrounded by flowers and a few summer critters. It is the second in her series. Memory Keeper is a design I have had in my mind for years. It is a large finished envelope (12 inches by 12 inches) to hold your treasured memorabilia and is stitched with sayings pertaining to friendships, a house and garden and animals and....and.... It is a must to see. The Workbasket is also launching a Yahoo Group which will allow shops to download a design a month to use in their shops for a class or to kit or in a newsletter. The designs can be stitched and then used to give to friends to keep in their "Memory Keepers". Each will contain an old treasured saying that you might want to give a friend for encouragement or in thanks or just for fun because you want to. We will have a few that are already ready for you to see during the market. ALSO for those of you who would like to learn the finishing edge we used for the Little Seasons and some of the Petites, stop in to see us in our room sometime Friday evening. Maybe we can help you learn a new finishing technique. Look for pictures of our five new designs on our "New/News" pages shortly after the Nashville market. Cheers and see you soon, Candy Our website was stitched on Lakeside Linen's 40 count Woodsmoke using one strand of Silk 'N Colors in Texas Bluebonnet from The Thread Gatherer.
