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

I believe it was 2007, when I went to Rug School the first and only time to date.  I'm hoping the ladies from my class don't mind me posting our group photo from that class.  I had signed up to take Cilla Cameron's, English Landscapes, I was so excited.  That year there was an epidemic going around and I forget right now what it was but Cilla was afraid she would get to Canada but wouldn't be able to leave so she wasn't able to attend and teach her class.  I was very disappointed to say the least but Joan...

It has been a very busy week here at the shop.  I received my textured/plaids I had ordered from Heavens to Betsy, they are so lovely.  Come into the shop to see them!

Yesterday my brother in-law and son worked away at building a ramp for my husbands wheelchair.  So happy to see one finally coming together.  Lots more work to be done but knowing my brother in-law,...
