Class with Nola Heidbreder ~


My two day class with Nola Heidbreder is over.  What a great class it was.  She is an EXCELLENT teacher who quickly got around the room to get each student started on her rug and then continually made the rounds.  Throughout the day she offered "teaching moments".  Helpful hints, demonstrating how to hook something, showing fun finishes, etc.  I would highly recommend that if you ever get the opportunity to take a class with her, do it.  You will not be disappointed.

Here are some of her rugs she brought to share.












Nola hooked the large version of American Clipper.  


My start on the smaller version.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but the ship is three different browns and a row of red.


Tomorrow and Friday is my class with Caroline Twigg of Eagles' Nest Woolens.  I've had Caroline a couple times and she is lots of fun.  Another rug will be started.  I'd better get busy hooking.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    Your teacher's rugs are all beautiful. I love that curious cow.
    You are doing beautifully on that clipper and you got a lot done. I hope your next hooking class is as much fun.
    You are busier than a bee.
    Hugs, Julia

    You got quite a lot hooked and looking fantastic. Would like to hook a ship rug one day but so far have been too intimidated to try. Was her sister with her? It is her sister who designs a lot of her rugs. Also like her Magdalena style rug.

    I was at a camp one time in Fl where Nola was teaching - I was VERY sorry I didn't take her class. A missed opportunity. Hope you have a great time in Boston. Yep I reading backwards again - Mel
