News, weekly blog posting from Della's Rug Hooking.

I don't know about you but I love when the clouds are big and puffy. I took the above picture the other day that reminded me of the clouds you see in the middle of the summer.  I remember as a kid laying in a field just watching the clouds go by.  I think I would like to try that again but will I worry about a tick landing on me?  Grass in my hair? Ants crawling on me?  Probably but I don't recall worrying about any of those things as...

I went on a road trip last week with some wonderful friends, to PEI for a wonderful rug hooking work shop with a wonderful teacher, Linda Marchbank.  The workshop was how to rug hooking an Elaine Harrison work of art.  Did you notice all the wonderful words I used?  We had so much fun!  The group of ladies in this course were spectacular!  This was the first workshop put on by Periwinkle Laine (Charlene and Debbie), they were simply a delight to chat and hang with and so knowledgeable.

The above bunnies were hooked by Carol Cowan. The bunnies were a free pattern from the Rug Hooking Magazine.  Carol said they were a bit of work to put together but fun to do.  Thanks for sharing with us Carol!  I thought they were perfect for our Easter Sunday blog.

I am almost completed my little shawl, pattern called Reyna.

In the mail this week; Linda Arenburg hooked this lovely pillow. Wool fabric mostly from Della's Rug Hooking Studio.

It is with profound sadness that I share that my dear Charlie, has gone over the rainbow bridge to doggie heaven. He was in his sixteenth year and he lived a good life.  No more Walmart greetings for my customers.

I have been busy knitting and therefore no new rug hooking projects until my course on the 12th...
