Meet lovely Marta, Toronto's newest rug hooker! She popped into the shop yesterday, got the demo and decided to take the hooking plunge.
Her first attempt at pulling loops was nothing short of perfection. Her line looked awesomely close to mine in appearance and I'm supposed to be an old pro. I said to her. "It's time you released your inner hooker girl" and she replied, "Well, I've let go of my outer hooker some time ago." Being in business as long as I've been, I've heard every joke imaginable on the hooking theme. Such an original response was worth a share.
So Marta left the shop with a Celtic knot kit, a hook, pine frame and a whole lot of enthusiasm. I liked her fun personality a lot. She's friend material and I hope she takes my advice and moves here!
Hot new pillow top or chair pad designs for the cottage or boat!
I've just completed a series of beachy style pieces perfect for pillow tops or chair pads. I hope to add to this collection with a few nautical designs but these eight starters were for a client who requested specific design elements. Details can be viewed on my website by clicking this link:
