THIS CLASS HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO JAN. 28 NOTICE: next rug hooking class Jan. 28, 2012 This class is a workshop class to incorporate coils of wool strips into your rug. The rug picture below is a small piece I just finished. The flower centers are coils of wool strips. The Jan 28 class will be instructions on this method. |
| Here we are getting close to the end of January already. As you can see from the picture below I have been working on small projects to incorporate rolled wool strips or wool coils into rug hooking. The latest issue of Rug Hooking Magazine has an article on this. I have used these wool coils to make bracelets and also after stringing several of them ( like stringing popcorn) onto button and carpet thread, I have coiled the string of them and stitched them together to make a chair seat . Just a fun project to do. If you add them to your rug hooking project you need to stitch them to your linen before hooking and then hook around them. They add a new texture to your hooked piece. It is actually so easy to do, but our class this month will be on how to do this . I have rescheduled the class from this Saturday (Jan. 21) to next Saturday (Jan. 28) because I have been sick all week with the darn flu. NOT a good week at all. I hope to add some pictures of what the girls are doing with their wool coils when we have the class. Do check back. Sandy |

| I added a braided border to this small sheep mat. I braided 3 of the #8 cut strips to make the braid and then attached it to the edges with button and carpet thread. I stitched from between the loops going thru the linen and then between each braid NOT stitching thru the wool of the braid |
