About Us

Our Family Craft, Made With Love

 

Michelle Roberts

Founder & Master Basket Weaver

​

That's me, the basket-weaving lady behind Baskets by Michelle With Love.

I hand-dye all my reed, weave every basket from scratch, and create custom pieces for homes all across Northern Kentucky.

I’ve been weaving baskets for over 20 years, with a break in between to raise my two girls. I originally learned to weave through basket-teaching classes, and I fell in love with the craft right away. For years, I attended the guild convention in Indianapolis, learning from incredible teachers and expanding my skills. I even served as the President of the Heritage Basket Tree Guild in Dayton, which was one of my proudest roles in the weaving community.

Recently, I rediscovered my passion for weaving and knew I wanted to share it with the world again. Creating baskets is my therapy after a long day — a place where creativity, calm, and joy come together. I love trying new techniques, traveling show the community my work, and dreaming up fresh ideas for future shows.

My favorite baskets to create are always the new designs — the ones that challenge me, inspire me, and remind me why I fell in love with weaving in the first place.​​​
