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.

Busy Week Ahead ~

The next few weeks are crazy busy, but doing fun stuff.  Next week I have two hooking classes.  Tuesday and Wednesday is a class with Nola Heidbreder.  I have chosen to hook her pattern American Clipper.  I will be hooking the small version which is 22 1/4" x 16".  Hopefully I will get it hooked and bound to give as a Christmas gift.

Thursday and Friday I will be in a class with Caroline Twigg of Eagles' Nest Woolens.  I've had Caroline before and she is lots of fun.  I will be hooking Vintage Blossoms, a pattern by Payton Primitives, purchased from Heavens to Betsy.  It measure 22" x 29".

Saturday is my guild's hook in.  I have volunteered for several duties throughout the day so no hooking will be done.  Unfortunately (???) I will find time to shop.  We have a great line up of vendors including the Wool Studio and the Wool'n Gardener.

And I wonder why I can't get anything done at home . . . sigh.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
