Catherine recently finished her Joni Black Market Day hooked rug – it turned out beautifully…This is part of a seasonal set – winter, spring, summer and autumn…
and Wendy D finished her fun floral sheep – one of my kits but in HER colours and I love it…and yes, if there is a kit you see, but you prefer other colours, please email me – I am happy to change up the colours and make it YOURS…
I finally mounted Tree in a Pot – took me months of having it on my table in my studio before I finally decided that I did not actually want to put it in a picture frame – instead I mounted it to a vintage muskrat skin stretcher that has lovely patina. The frame will house something else one day…
Progress on my newest rug – design from a book by Rebekah Smith but widened to fit under my shelf in my living room. I am soooooo loving working on this piece – I think it is the challenge of something new. But, if it is going to be one of the pieces I work on at our retreat in a month I NEED TO STOP. Fortunately, I have two antique rugs to repair and a rug to hook for a friend and, yesterday, I had the privilege of teaching a finishing class in Martintown. These ladies are lovely and took to the different finishing ideas like ducks to water. So now I have a pile of samples from the class that need to be finished!!!!! so more projects to work on… show bindings, prodding, braided edges and appliqued edges.
Hooked On The Lake 
What a beautiful combination of hooking, penny rugs, trapunto and stitching! And, as always, gorgeous colours!
Love the wool appliqué

As always – you deliver such “delights” for all to see!
I’m loving your retreat piece……
As well, the Tree in Pot on the muskrat stretcher is lovely.
Enjoy this weather….it’s amazing!
Thanks Loretta, I hope you are well and wishing you and your family good health. Hopefully will get to see you at another of your workshops.

I really really love this boat piece. I hope you will teach a course on it. Maybe we could invite you down to JJ’s to do a workshop? think about it. Love it.
LOVE your Tree in a Pot finish!
Hi Loretta,
I hope things are well with you. I thought I’d share my hooking of the pattern I purchased from you a few months ago, the Follower. I had such fun hooking this with all the beautiful colours and the whimsical pattern. I hope I did it justice.
