You sound like me, I need to finish things first, lol. I do finish my little pieces, so working more on those for now. Like the new project, can't wait to see the rest.
I'm a mother of 2 mostly grown children,(college age)and married to a great husband! I own a wonderful Quilt and Rughooking shop with my Sister Gretchen, called The Woolen Willow! We started with an online business called "The Rughooking Store" in 1999 and opened the brick and mortar shop in 2004. We moved our shop from the two story older home into a larger building about a year and a half ago, and added a gift and craft shop, to equal somewhere around 4000 square feet of great shopping! We have a lot of classes and fun! I design hooked rug patterns, and quilt patterns. Using wool in my quilts is something I really love to do! The wool is all hand-dyed in our shop sometimes on a daily basis. My Husband is an Electrician, and we have been married for 26 years! We get along great and have a lot of fun.
Oldies from the quilt shop!
