I need the simplicity of primitive design to lighten my life

everyday ... it's my resting place ... I find it

in the simplest of designs and in the quiet of

when I am pulling  strips of wool one at a time.

Won't you join me?

LET FREEDOM RING!

It seems to me that those of us who love handwork love all  kinds ...
Embroidery, appliqué, make-dos ~

Penny rugs are appliquéd circles ...

Charming! 

The July issue of WSJ has been shipped!

Enjoy!

God Bless America! 

No peeking birds bathing!!

Hook on!

Here is a rug to inspire anyone!

Enjoy!

You have a rug hooking pal in Colorado!

Wouldn't it be fun if we could hook together today?

.... maybe a geometric/hexagon design like hooked

in this early rug appeals to you.

Here on wool street we don't need

cold weather to love our wool! The love

of rug hooking is year 'round!

Here is a great early rug ... pets and

farm animals were often included in 

early rugs! Just like they are today ...

The roses are such a nice touch! 

I wonder if this is a memorial rug for

some endearing pets. 

This rug measures 30" x 55" and was

hooked in 1880 in Pennsylvania.
