Theresa's Basket is where to find the newest designs, fibers and products which meet the stringent quality control standards of ... well ... Theresa! Occasionally I throw in something older, but that's been requested again recently, or I think it has great style. This list changes monthly, but you will be able to go back and look at previous months' lists by following the month links above. Supplies needed are listed along side each design, but if you have questions, send me an e-mail, and I'll do my best to fill you in on whatever you need to know. If you've seen something new (or old) elsewhere that you'd like me to get for you, I'm always happy to fill special orders.
Read more about my automatic programs, where your 12th month is FREE! If you missed out on the start of any of the programs, just get caught up, and join in on the fun!
