Picture in Rug Hooking Magazine

on page 50 of the March/April/May 2008 edition shows a picture of the sisters rugs that Wendy Miller, The Red Saltbox, and I hooked for our sister rugs at Sauder Village last summer.
Here is the link for Sauder Village which hosts great classes and a wonderful rug show each August. www.saudervillage.org/Creativity/Rughooking.asp
For the rug show at Sauder last August, participants partnered up with another rug hooker (friend or sister) and hooked the same design. Alot of hookers participated and it was neat to see two rugs side by side hooked with different color palette. Here is my picture of the sister rug.
It is one of Wendy's designs, Deer Fraktur, from her antique inspired pattern line. Visit her at http://www.theredsaltbox.com/ Her patterns are just wonderful.

Ok, I have to give equal billing to my two kitty cats. Meet Iggy.


He is such a handsome cat and perfectly marked. And here is my sweet Maggie named after my favorite rug hooker Magdalena Briner.

She is the sweetest little kittie! Maria

Hooray for the weekend!

I have a three day weekend and am looking forward to hooking on some of my new patterns. The other day I came accross some of my older rugs that haven't been seen in a while. So I thought I would share a few with you over the next couple of days. If memory serves me correctly, I also hooked this pattern in a green and blue color palette which was kind of neat and different. I probably hooked this rug 7 or 8 years ago. The yellow wool is some of Wendy Miller's butter mustard. Oh how I wish I still had a bunch of this wool. I have bits and pieces of it left and I covet it as it is the neatest color. She has the recipe in her new Dye Book which you can order on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Red-Saltbox-dye-book-rug-ooking-wool-PRHG_W0QQitemZ250190118355QQihZ015QQcategoryZ28161QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or her website, http://www.theredsaltbox.com/. There are a lot of other wonderful recipes in her book as well. Enjoy the weekend! Maria
