Meet the real Mister Iggy

Isn't he a great looking cat? Yes, he is the inspiration for my free rug hooking pattern in latest Rug Hooking Magazine. If you haven't seen a copy of Rug Hooking Magazine, you might want to buy one. Not only is there a free pattern of one of my whacky and whimsical Halloween patterns, there are some great articles as well. Wendy Miller of the Red Salt Box wrote about gravestone rugs and it is an informative article. Also there is an article about copyright infringement...again an informative article.

For your viewing pleasure, here is another one of my Halloween hooked rugs. This one is called Tilda and is available as a pattern for $28. Have a great week. Maria

    Oh Maria! Iggy is just so handsome! Love how his markings resemble a mustache and beard! Absolutely adorable!

    Maria, as a mom to 6 furry creatures that meow, I'm very pleased to meet the real Mr. Iggy! What a handsome boy he is.

    Iggy is quite the fella...no wonder you had to design a rug for him! Now I'm going to have to buy a copy of RHM...

    Maria,
    Still waiting for them to hit the store, can't wait to see the new issue. Iggy is a sweetie. Tuxedo's have so much personality and mine was the inspiration for a few of mine, as well. Sadly he disappeared this spring.

    Keep up the beautiful and fun patterns, love your designs.

    Debbie

    How does one go about getting one of your patterns? I saw one in rug hooking magazine, but when I went to your website.........it says your website is closed.
