My project for Sauder Village Rug Camp is a dog drawn by my grandson, Nick. It will be a stool cover.
Here is the registration form for the Rugs by the Sea rug camp in Cape May, NJ. The location is magical. It has to be special to get me to drive that far every year. There’s two weeks of camp, each week with a different line up of teachers. Much of the camp is conducted…
My day workshop at Sauder Village this August is full, but the one day workshop is not. The class is focusing on my stair risers, but if you would like to hook one of my other patterns with the same motifs please join me. Sauder Village Rug Show is a great destination for rug hookers….
