After 42 years, The Basket Makers Catalog (TBMC) is moving to a new owner, Dani Sue of Dani Sue Creations, as our founding owners retire. TBMC started as a mail-order catalog and is now a top supplier for basket weavers and chair caners around the world. Dani Sue Anderson, who is an experienced weaver and teacher who first learned our craft from her grandmother Ardia Herndon, will bring fresh excitement and an expanded catalog to our trusted tradition.
To mark this new chapter and better reflect this expanded offering, starting March 2024...
The Basket Maker's Catalog is now Basket Maker's Supply!
A message from Beth, Scott & Michael
“We’re sending a huge thanks to each of you, our wonderful customers, who’ve
supported our successful venture for over four decades! Whether you ordered a
catalog, found us online, took a workshop from us, or called on us for weaving
advice, we want you to know we appreciate you and the connections we’ve made
over the years.
We are leaving you in good hands and we’re thrilled that Dani Sue will continue
to serve the basket making community and maintain The Basket Maker’s Catalog’s
Kentucky legacy!”

A Note from Dani Sue
"From the moment I made my first basket at the age of 6, sitting criss-cross applesauce, learning to weave a nantucket under the loving guidance of my grandmother, Ardia Herndon, I have loved this amazing craft we share! Since starting Dani Sue Creations in 2016, my passion has been to carry on the rich legacy of basket making and bring this age-old craft to a new generation. I can't wait to serve you and bring my experience as a teacher, basket designer and fellow maker to continuing to be your onestop shop for all things basket making, chair caning and more. For generations, this craft has woven us together... In fact, my grandmother Ardia, was a customer of The Basket Maker's Catalog and visited them in Scottsville. Let's carry on the tradition together. I can't wait to see what you make!"
- Dani Sue Anderson, new owner of The Basket Maker's Catalog (now Basket Maker's Supply)
