New Kit!

This is Tombstone Sunflower, a Lori Brechlin/Notforgotten Farm design.  I was drawing up the pattern for an order one day and a light bulb went off in my head.  What a great pattern for a kit!

I sat down that evening and began hooking.  I think it took me 3 evenings total to complete it and I enjoyed every minute.  I used all as-is textured wool, cut in a #8.5 cut. (I think a #8 cut would work just as well if you find #8.5 too big).  

You are getting a sneak peek because I haven't put this on my website yet. However, I have put some kits together and they are available for purchase now.

A kit with uncut wool and linen pattern is $58.00

A kit with uncut wool and monks cloth pattern is $52.00

I can cut the wool for you for $10.00 more.
The pattern dimensions are 11" x 14".

This is a great beginner kit but it's also just the right size for anyone to take along while they are traveling.  What a perfect project for hooking while at the cottage or lake!

I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your book Introduction to Rug Hooking. I have been hooking for about twelve years,but find your book very informative ~ Yvonne M., Canada

Yvonne has already hooked two projects from my book!  She used the Hearts and Flowers pattern and put the design end-to-end to create a lovely table runner.

She also hooked the Rise and Shine pattern, using happy colors that make me smile!  

Thanks for sharing, Yvonne!
