…she lives on the edge of the prairie
where the wheat and the wild flowers grow

she’s called by the swaying pines
and the hills and the valley below…

Welcome to the 2013 LJ Fibers Annual Rug Project…
Pines To Prairie
I’m excited to share my newest design with you!

This year’s project is a TWO part kit…

muted…antique tones and lots of textures
a fun hit-in-miss border…reminiscent of vintage rugs
PART ONE (which will ship by March) contains the hand-drawn linen pattern, wool for the border grid and the center section, twill binding tape (for those of you that like to sew this on before hooking) and a detailed hooking guide.

PART TWO (which will ship in October) contains the wool for the border, a custom fabric label to document your heirloom and a detailed hooking guide.

♥ A limited number of kits are available…
choose between CUT and Un-CUT Wool
♥ Order both parts together NOW and SAVE…
OR spread out the payments and order each part individually
VISIT the website for all the information and join the hooking fun!

Thanks for stopping by today! ~L

Back & Previews…

Hello… I hope that you are well and so far the New Year has been happy…
I’m sorry to have been absent so long…been struggling with a mis-aligned sciatic joint…but thanks to my Physical Therapist, Julia and all the wonderful people at Tria…I’m on the mend and BACK to work!
Hoping that by the end of the week I’ll be able to introduce the 2013 LJF Rug Project…

Pines to Prairie here and open up the ordering on the website
I’m lovin’ how it is hooking up and hope you will too!

The Spring 2013 issue of FOLK Magazine will be out soon! I’ve had an opportunity to preview the issue and it’s awesome!

So many inspiring artists and entrepreneurs…
All the “little things” we hold dear…

2013...

Wishing you all the BEST... ~L

it's a wrap...

Thought I'd share a pic of the finished quilt we gave to my sister and brother-in-law
...the last few stitches were taken inbetween batches of cookies
...and just in time to wrap up for your family gathering on Christmas Day.

We had a great day and I hope you did, too!
My Men-Folk are on vacation until the 2nd...and it is so fun having them home! My "honey-do" list is long...so we will see how much actually gets accomplished...
it's back to the studio for me...
The 2013 LJFibers Rug Project is just about finalized...
This year's rug is called "Pine to Prairie" it will be a wonderful, useable size at 22" x 36"...
most likely done in TWO parts...I still need to get it all figured out...
but will be back soon with all the information...

Until then...
May you have a Safe and Happy New Year's celebration...
and Many Blessings the whole year thru! ~L

Merrie and Bright...

The snow is gently falling...the baking has begun...
the shopping is done and only a few stitches remain to be taken in a special gift...

I feel so far behind...but say that every year...
and it really doesn't matter...does it?

In a year of so much loss...I'm reminded that the stuff is not important...
it's our relationships that matter...our connections to each other...the kindness and love that we share...

So my WISH for you my friends is a Bright and Merry Christmas...
and a Peace~filled New Year! ~L

* ~ the studio is closed until December 27th...
