Even though I love to design patterns I really do like to actually make things.I have done primitive art work for over 20 years,in fact,that is what led me to start my pattern business.I have really been busy making patterns but have decided to try my hand at doing punch needle rug making.I am working on my first rug(though I doubt it will ever see the floor). I drew a very simple pattern and started in with only information I could find on the web.With vintage needle in hand I began.It is not perfect and not finished yet but I am loving the process.I tried regular rug hooking and it was a challenge for my poor old brain.The needle punching seems more doable for me.I will keep you posted as to my progress.
Meanwhile here is another pattern.

"Show Your Colors" is 18x24 and is one of my favorites.A favorite because it combines the rug hooking with a view of some quilted handy work.Many of you do more than one needle craft and this is designed to cross the gap a little.

I have a new pattern to post today.I think the picture is horrible but I still love the pattern.I named this one Sunny side Up.It is 24x18"

It is so cold here and it has been one storm after another.Expecting a ice storm tonight.
Here are my latest offerings.
Hare Today #412

House Cat#413

each are 18x24.You can see I am  feeling a little jumpy.Must be cabin fever.

Today I have spent working on some new patterns and trying to come up with some fresh ideas.It is always a bit hard to get started but sometimes it is just as hard to stop.
