There have been some BIG Changes recently. In late November,
I moved from Minnesota to sunny southern California!
I will not have a home studio at the
present time, but you can rest assured that when purchasing through my
websites you will receive wool of the most excellent quality, and
patterns that are hand drawn with borders on the straight of grain.
I'm so thankful for your support of my business.
Check out upcoming events for 2012.
Have you seen the
Nov/Dec 2011 issue of
Rug Hooking Magazine? My article on hooking ornaments made the

my favorites...ornaments. They make great gifts and hook up
in no time.
