Colleen and I have
been making rugs
together for many years.
We live a country apart but
we share our wool, our
rugmaking and our lives.

Colleen has only one kit left of 'The Birthday Rug'
(large photo above) which came about from a
design she stitched for her sister's birthday.

A beautiful rug done in natural and hand dyed
vintage woolens, thread and detailed instructions
are included in the kit...perhaps even the needle.
Just open your package and start
stitching your rug

Colleen also has a detailed pattern for the
small 'hit and miss' penny rug shown above.
Perfect if you are a rug hooker and know the
joy of collecting wool. Use up those tiny bits and
pieces from leftover projects to learn the art
of penny rugmaking.

Warning
Penny Rugmaking is highly addictive!

Visit Colleen's Blog to find tutorials on
how to make penny rugs and more.
Email Colleen for the purchase of these items or
more information on her kits.

Melanee and I have been friends forever.
We share our love of early textiles and paint;
we share our love of olden ways and our
woes and struggles in our lives.

Melanee Herrera is an early textile artist
giving the past new life with paint and cloth.

Melanee's needlepunch is an
interpretation of an old early hooked rug design.

Each cotton loop is punched through by
hand with a punch needle.

Mary and I have been friends since my
rug group years ago.

Mary is an accomplished knitter as well as
most other needlework. She knits re-enactment
wear as well as a dandy pair of homeknit socks.

Mary's shawl reminds me of the
'Gone With the Wind' days
when us older ladies wore our shawls and
dainty little hats and gloves whenever
we went 'a callin'.

Mary knits everything to the
customers specifications so
