It's been a busy week! These are some of the photos that went around the shop this week, the hook-in Wednesday evening and wool that came out of the dye kitchen.
Shane dyed a new cradle full of abrashed yarn

Shane spent the week coming up with new ways to dye wool and inventing new formulas. He also, per customer request, custom dyed colours to match samples. Below are three new values. Cantaloupe, Honey Dew and Dragon Fruit.

Visitors from Massachusetts, Diana Deroche and Ann Garrity....rug hookers playing hooky from Rug School to visit the shop. It's is difficult to see but Ann painted the boat in the Blue Rocks pattern. Very clever!

Linda Ruth loves dogs and likes to hook them as well. she sewed plaid around this sweet little pup to make a large pillow. Audrey is whipping her Morning Glories. We'll have the pattern soon!
Lorraine's specificity is hooking family scenes and here is another winner. Couldn't you just jump in the water and swim out to the raft!
 Anne's finished Alice, all whipped and ready to take its place in her living room. I see three hands holding the rug, no wonder she can hooker faster than the average bear!   This pattern is called Spring Garden, and while fixing up my Signature Designs page I realized this one was never posted on the site. I designed this rug for Jean Morse and she did a great job hooking the paisley style leaf and stylized tulips with a scalloped border.  Sue starting a new project, the small version of Sailor's Lure and Pam closing in on the finish of her Joan Foster pattern.  |  Charlene dropped in on her way home from Rug School She took the Tessellations class and designs this wonderful pinwheel pattern. She also did a smaller version of her birds we featured before. Charlene is very clever!   Marta working on the background of her Initially Yours M and Anne below, starting a new project after finished her Alice.   I finished my Initially Yours letter H. At first I wasn't keen on the black and gold but it grew on me and now sits at the top of the list for favourites! Thhere are only 5 more to do!

Deborah working on "Lesley", a Jacobean pattern I designs for Lesley Marshal. The two tree bases begin in opposite corners and the branches meet at the large flower in the center.
What a fabulous job on our pattern "Heart Of The Mat-ter" by our Scottish friend and rug hooker, Brigitte Webb! Love it!
