For the next two and a half years Deb drove to Morrison to take many basket classes. Her house started to fill with baskets and basket supplies and she started teaching some coworkers how to make baskets.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winona-show-2016-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17479\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winona-show-2016-1-300x248.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winona-show-2016-1-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winona-show-2016-1-80x66.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winona-show-2016-1-1030x852.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winona-show-2016-1-1500x1240.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winona-show-2016-1-705x583.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Winona-show-2016-1-450x372.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In January 1996, they moved to Owatonna, Minnesota.\u00a0 Deb was very concerned that she was going to lose her basket connections and friends \u2013 but much to her delight she found that Pat Raetz was teaching basket weaving classes at the Owatonna Art Center and there were others teaching classes through Community Education.\u00a0 From Pat, Deb quickly learned about a basket weaving event in Faribault, MN and one in Winona MN, being organized by Margaret Grund.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WeavininWinona2016.114.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17483\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WeavininWinona2016.114-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WeavininWinona2016.114-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WeavininWinona2016.114-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WeavininWinona2016.114-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WeavininWinona2016.114-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WeavininWinona2016.114-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/WeavininWinona2016.114-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And so Deb had found her place in the Minnesota basket community.\u00a0 She and Pat Raetz drove to Winona (a mere hour and a half drive!) to take classes from Margaret Grund.\u00a0 Deb established a business, Ferggies Basket Case, started selling baskets and she began teaching her co-workers \u2013 in her heated garage.\u00a0 After two years of setting up and tearing down, moving cars in and out, Fred suggested a new house \u2013 one with room for a studio. (Deb, he\u2019s a keeper!)\u00a0 Now, Deb has 750 square feet of studio where she can create and gather with weaving friends and she teaches through area Community Education Programs.<\/p>\n<p>Like many of us, Deb\u2019s home is full of baskets, she weaves all styles of basketry but most of her work is functional. She sells a lot of her work at Art and Craft Shows (about four a year) and is always working on new ideas for classes she teaches. I probably should mention that Deb is also a quilter \u2013 another art form at which she excels and another good reason for that \u2018bigger house\u2019.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Winona-2016Debs-017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17482\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Winona-2016Debs-017-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Winona-2016Debs-017-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Winona-2016Debs-017-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Winona-2016Debs-017-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Winona-2016Debs-017-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Winona-2016Debs-017-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Winona-2016Debs-017-450x338.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Deb has no plans to quit weaving or teaching.\u00a0 While the concept of \u2018making it yourself\u2019 and keeping the art of basketry alive is important, she has found it is very often more than weaving a basket- it\u2019s about the community. Relaxing with friends, working with your hands and sharing your life, basket weaving becomes therapeutic and very personal. Weavers become your friends.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to teaching basketry and selling baskets, Deb also organizes two events.\u00a0 Cabin Fever Weavin&#8217; is held in January in Owatonna, MN.\u00a0 Deb started this regional event in January, 2000.
