The Longaberger Barn Basket that I wove at the Collectors Club Field Trip in April has barn-door accent splints and a unique barn-roof handle shape. Longaberger is definitely celebrating America's farming roots this summer, with returning baskets like the Measuring, Fruit, Berry, and Gathering Baskets that were originally used on Ohio farms . . . but not in the fun, bright stain colors Longaberger offers this summer!
The beautiful lid was available at the Homestead, as well as a fun tractor cut-out. The Barn Basket was definitely different from the other (probably 6-8) Longaberger baskets I've woven over the years. However, the camaraderie with a weaver and excitement of creating something beautiful and useful remains the same with each weaving experience. From the music to the activities, Longaberger's Collectors Club event was a happy place to be.
