Today in the studio...

Bolts and bolts of new WOOL have arrived in the studio and will be posted on the Website and Etsy Shop soon!

Today I'm working on getting the wool kits and patterns for Hilda's Flower...
the 2018 edition of my annual LJFibers Rug Projects!

a peek at just a few of the wool piles...

...including my gorgeous plant-dyed wools...saxon blue and glowing greens...a combination of saxon blue and fustic.

Today it may still be cold and snowy outside...but inside it's warm and wooly!
Have a great day ~ Laurie

April...

Hello Friends,
The days do seem to get away from me...
Has it really nearly 2 months since I last posted here?
We are on the cold side of the weather roller coaster today...windy, but bright sunshine! A great day for computer work and hopefully some stitching in my chair tonight!

Bolts and bolts of LOVELY WOOLs have arrived in the studio/shop


AND...much more will be here soon!

All are available on the website and some are also in the Etsy shop

Lavender and Honey, my NEW Cross Stitch Pattern will be released SOON!

It's the newest addition to the Hilda Thornbroom Series;)

Registration is now open for Spring II Classes at Minnetonka Center for The Arts...

If you are in the area, I'd love to welcome into my rug hooking class!

Wishing you all a lovely weekend! ~ Laurie

In the studio & a little thread therapy...

Hello Friends,
Hope you are all having a good week!
I've been playing with linen and thread...
a little therapy to help me get back on track!
So many family things going on this summer that I feel a little out of sorts in the studio.
I found a stitch I did awhile back and finished into a sweet pocket.
Nudged by requests and have finally gotten the pattern together...
Both PDF Instant Downloadable and Printed Paper versions are available in my Etsy shop...

New WOOl will be arriving any day...
Lovely Textures!!!

Saturday is Open Hooking & Stitching in the studio...
it will be so fun to see everyone!

Warm...cozy...scrumptious WOOL!
Perfect for all your holiday projects!
You'll find it here on the website at woolyredrug.com

These chilly nights got me thinking about the old Army blankets I found a while back at my favorite local haunt
Hunt and Gather

I think it is time to starting stitching on them...
just need to settle on a design...
stay tuned...I'll post on my progress!
May your day be filled with delight ~L

Textures...


Love'em!!! Lots of NEW wooly textures...and a few "oldies"...arrived a week ago! I've finally got the studio back together after the annual Spring hook-in...opps...no pictures...
Anyway...just got all the woolies added to the website!
Now busy hooking up some treasures for Shepherd's Harvest Wool and Sheep Festival on Mother's Day weekend.
This will be my 7th consecutive year at the festival! It's always a great time!!!

Cold and dreary here today...but thankfully no snow...just cold...a good day to hunker down with wool!
Still Looking for Spring, L

New Arrivals...and Studio Cleaning!


Maggie Bonanomi's newest book arrived a few days ago! Almost 20 years ago I was fascinated with making books...and I love making journal covers...Maggie's techniques combine...basic bookmaking...wool applique and a whimsy of design!!! A fun project on a cold winter's day!

I'm a bit behind in getting the website updated...like many...we've been down with the flu...or some nasty bug. Nick was home from school most of last week...and I was down for the count most of the weekend. Lucky for him, Paul was working...in a much warmer climate.

But...there is nothing like bolts and bolts of lovely new wool to brighten this gal's spirit!!!

While lying around with not even enough energy to pick up my hook...my mind on over load...I'm a multi-tasker...definitely not a time waster. I know that when you are sick...it's your body's way of saying..."Take care of me"...but all I could think was..."What a waste of time...and there is so much that needs doing!"
So now that I'm back to the land of living...I want to throw open the windows and start the Spring cleaning. It's been in the mid-20's the last few days...might hit 32 tomorrow...ha...heat wave...still not quite window washing weather...so hey...How 'bout a SALE instead?!?!?!

Now, Paul will tell me...not to fret...the movers will pack it all...but...well I guess I'm in the mood to lighten the Pattern load...Select wool applique, punch needle, and cross stitch patterns are being marked down! I should have the website totally updated by the weekend...I hope you'll hop over for a look...there just might be a deal on something you've been looking for!

Be Warm and Safe Dear Friends ~L

50+

...inches of SNOW this Winter!
We've had light fluffy flakes throughout most of the day...and the temps are dropping. This is usually the coldest weekend in January...Where is our January THAW???

I've been keeping warm finishing up my Plum Pony...

...26" x 33"...linen patterns are now available on the website!

Lots of lovely new wool will be arriving this week too! I'll be keeping busy hooking some smaller mats for the February 1st release at Early Work Mercantile. I've also got to get working on the stitching from the previous post...reminds me of a favorite quote...
Buttons and Patches
and the cold wind blowing...
The days pass quickly
when I am sewing

...don't know who said this...but I'm sure we'd be friends!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you are safe & staying warm ~L

"Moving"...along nicely!

Hello Everyone, It's been way too long since I've posted! I hope you are enjoying these fleeting summer days. How did it get to be nearly the end of July? I know that I've been working hard and am so focused on getting everything moved...seems like the days just fly by.
Just the big tables and basement clutter remain on Grand...all the inventory has been moved...the wool room is looking great...and then yesterday this arrived...
Lovely NEW wools...and a few olde favorites! And another shipment should be arriving any day! It's always exciting to get new wool, but this time of year it reminds me of getting ready for school. When I was young we used to make most of our clothes...so a trip to the fabric stores was always part of "back to school"...no wonder I love the feel of cloth in my fingers!
