Just a little rughooking!

Good morning!
     I just thought I'd show you a little rug I've been working on, and tell you about a fun retreat we will be having through our shop!  The rug came about when I was moving some displays around in the shop and found a skeleton key in one of the old doors we use as a wall! The gal working with me that day, Janice, suggested I work it into a new rug design, so here it is!
Just a little more work on the binding, and it will be done in time for Valentine's Day!
 
Now about the retreat! It is for anyone who would like to attend. In the past we have had quilters, stampers, rughookers, and needlepunchers! All are welcome, and we have such a fun time! This year we will be retreating at the resort at Blackwater Falls, WV! To go to the website and see all the information just go to..... http://woolenwillowspringretreat2013.weebly.com and maybe you will be tempted to come along for loads of fun! My sister Sally has been making all the plans and she is great at organizing these things! I'm very excited about it, because we have two Aunts who come, as well as our Mother "ASK MOM," a niece, a cousin, and of course my Sisters! The past few years we met at North Bend State Park in WV, but this year we wanted a bigger conference room to fit more people easily, so go check it out!!!
  I hope you all have a great day!!

    1. Gee, thanks Michelle! Yes, it's for sale, just email the shop at woolenwillow@aol.com, and say you want the skeleton key rug pattern, and if you want it on Monks cloth or linen! It's not on the website yet, but Gretchen will know what you mean!
