Spring is coming...

...perhaps not the weather...tho' the polar vortex finally moved on,
there is plenty of winter ahead here on the northern prairie.
Very soon the NEW Wool Works Magazine will be arriving...
Here's a peek at my Grandma's Garden Pin Keeps project...
quick and fun to stitch!

Wishing you all a great day ~ Laurie

2017 Preview and Happy Holidays

"Shady Spot" Happy Holidays,

After a beautiful, long Autumn...Winter has settled in here on the northern prairie! Over the weekend we got hit with a snow storm and this morning as I write to you, we are in the deep freeze at -6°F

2017 marks the 30th Anniversary of
L. J. Fibers at The Wooly Red Rug...
and lots of exciting things are on the horizon...

First up is the introduction of the 2017 Annual Rug Project...
I've just updated the website with ordering info for
Shady Spot ~ The 2017 LJFibers Annual Rug Project...
my adaptation of a mid-18th century needlework wallet,
featuring two ponies under a fanciful, floral tree...
the finished rug is 26" x 36"
Shady Spot is a THREE Part Project...
kits are available as Cut or Un-Cut Wool...
a mix of my beautiful hand-dyed and as-is textured wools!
Part One will ship in January!
