GETTING READY ~ ~ ~


For Saturday's show at Quailcrest Farms!!  These are rug punched ~ I like them a lot!  Don't know if I'll finish them as a mat or as little pillows!!  Time will tell ~ and I don't have very much time!! One thing I'm hoping to squeeze in is drawing a few of these pumpkin patterns to sell ~ I think I can, I think I can!!!!! 

Years ago, a craft show friend gave me a box of things related to rugs that belonged to her mother!  At the time, I didn't know what this was!  Now, I do ~ just found it the other day!!  It was 39 cents!!!  Imagine!  I'm going to try it one day when I have more than a minute to spare!!


These bundles of roving are being readied to go into a basket ~ natural white and black along with some beautiful dyed colors! 








Deanne Fitzpatrick's patterns came in recently ~ love her things!  I ordered smaller ones for quick little projects! 







And I'm really happy to have some of Maria Barton's (Star Rug Company) patterns to sell! There are a few Halloween but I love them all ~ she has such a distinctive design style!  I met her mom and dad in a parking lot to pick them up ~ they live not too far from me so it worked out great!   Thanks, Maria!!

Back to the hooking room to get wool ready for marbleizing ~ sari ribbon to be put in small bundles ~ and pumpkins to hook!  Woo hoo!!!

Have a good day and THINK SUNSHINY SATURDAY for the show at Quailcrest!  Check my sidebar under coming events for the link!!

That's a lot of nice patterns. Your pumpkin mats are looking great and I hope that you sell a lot of your own patterns at the show.
