Here's my latest rug project...it's the 2nd time I've hooked this particular rug.

I've got a couple of canvases "calling" to me to start hooking them...but I'm getting this one completely finished first!

The WOW wool is ready for this month.....finally!
If you're wanting wool for your treat this month...come on by!
(It's a great shade of  "holly green" this time!)

We finally have all the details on "Berties Year" BOM all figured out!

We will be kitting this BOM as 12 individual blocks (each 11" x 17" approx)...which you'll be able to finish as 12 individual projects or as a quilt at the end of the year.
All of the background fabrics will be Maywood's Woolie Flannels...100% cotton flannels...just as you see pictured, with hand dyed wool applique in the center.

The kit will cost $17.95 each month and will include the flannel you need for each block, hand dyed wools, floss and pattern.

A sashing and border kit will be available at an additional cost later in the year.
The project will start in January with Bertie and the snowman block.
We have had a great response to this project...we have a sign up sheet going now!

Also...

Each month we will be kitting just the center of each block (approx. 9 1/2" x 13") all in hand dyed wools! We're not taking a list for these kits, but will be available on a first come, first serve basis and will be shown on the blog when available!


The wool kit for Bertie and the Snowman should be ready in time for Open House!

********************

That's it for tonight...time to go wash some wool and pack the car!
Don't forget, we'll be closed after this Sunday until Open House next weekend!
