Hydrangeas


Hi there, hope everyone is well! I hooked another basket of posies! Hydrangeas! It was tons of fun preparing the wool, lots of spot dyeing, etc.... I wanted lots of mixed and mottled shades for this one! I am so ready for it to warm up and stay warm! Flowers always get me in the mood for summer! Talk Soon! OH, I plan to do a free/pattern giveaway with one of my new one's, so keep checking back! Thanks! Cathy

Antique Basket of Geraniums

I just sold this fun rug! I really enjoyed making it! Now I am taking orders for it, better dye more red and black! LOL! The kids are on spring break this week. We are heading to Amish town this weekend. They have a nice department store where I love to buy wool! FUN! Yummy resturants and more!
Here is a link..... http://www.shipshewana.com/ Just in case anyone is heading through northern Indiana, it is worth the time. It takes us about an hour to get there. We have another fun little Amish town closer, but no wool....lol! I always appreciate you stopping by my blog! Thanks, Cathy

Hornbook Sampler Rug


Hello to all! I guess I am not keeping my New Years Resolution to blog more!! Filling many orders, as a matter of fact I am working on turkey rugs and more....lol!
I am loving this ticking wool, I used it in my tulips on this sampler rug! FUN!!
I found this little bit of wisdom the other day and thought I would share it! Not sure who came up with this one, but I love it~~! Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titantic. ~~~ Isn't that fun?? Bless you!! Cathy

Wool Fun with Ticking!

I just love these new ticking wool bundles from Dorr! Very versatile! Some are so beautiful that all I did was tone down the brights with some Cushings Tan! I hated to change the colors on them too much, so Tan Dye worked out very well!! I wanted to show you before...stay tuned I will post the results soon! Have a wonderful day!! Cathy
