8 Shirley Mount Gilman, WISCONSIN Shirley began weaving in 1992 because she wanted her two home schooled daughters, ages 5 and 7 to learn to weave. Shirley had to finish the 5 year olds Berry Basket and so her weaving experiences began. She loved the process of weaving and began taking adult classes, ordered materials and patterns and dove in way over her head. As time passed friends wanted to learn to weave and so the teaching began. In 2009, out of necessity, The Basket Patch was established to sell supplies, as Shirley continued to teach, design and write patterns. As Shirley wanted to expand her knowledge of weaving techniques and materials she travelled to Martha Wetherbee s Basket Camp in Florida, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. Martha sparked Shirley s love for Nantucket style baskets and has become a good friend and coach and has helped to encourage Shirley to become an accomplished Nantucket weaver and teacher.
