Rug Hooking for the Holidays, Thursday live: Episode 169

I’m curious that you many use wool in your rugs. I recently finished your kit Poppies on the Edge of Town, which used a lot of cloth strips. Two questions:
1. Is hooking with cloth something you are moving away from?
2. What are the main differences between cloth and wool in the finished product? e.g. is cloth better for certain design aspects of a rug?

p.s. Your Thursday live from the studio videos are the best part of my week!!

Hello from south Texas. Here for the winter from Ontario. Love the Thursday Live but missed last week as we didn’t have any wifi. Will try and find it now. Keeps me in touch as I don’t have any rug Hooking cohorts here.
Darla’s rugs are beautiful.
Love the way your Christmas one is coming along.

Hello Deanne,
You look fabulous. It looks like you’ve lost a lot of weight. I’m hooking little snowman faces rug mugs for my granddaughter. I started last year and she loved it. I hope all is well with you and yours!!!
Love ya,
Janet

It’s a joy to watch another Thursday Live in Calgary, where we woke up to snow covering everything again.
Darla your rugs are terrific! Thank you for showing them.
I’m too slow at it to be hooking for Christmas, although I did have ambitious dreams of it. I’m working on a big (for me) rug inspired by the one of Deanne’s I did with wildflowers at the front and mountains in the back. I’ve done the bottom, which is 24’ X 8” of wild flowers. It is my first drawn by me and will be taller than it is wide. I will post it eventually.

I’m making a tree skirt for my grand daughter and her fiancé.

Darla,your rugs are so beautiful.Kudos!

I am working on a big rug with 9 nutcrackers on it.Working on the background now.Love your Santa,Deanne

Loved this live. Darla, your rugs are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I understand tears when visiting the studio. When I was there in September I was filled with joy and awe. The staff is amazing, so kind and caring. Deanne, your kindness is so apparent. You are indeed an inspiration!

Thank you – all of you! for sharing Thursday with all of us around the world!

I am finishing too floor rugs for my son and daughter in-law and Christmas at the harbour.

I’ve just finished hooking 3 cone Santa’s. They need sewing still!

Hooking mug rugs for Christmas and maybe. New stocking.

Kudos to Darla! I LOVE my monthly wool box. It has been amazing to build my stash in my first year of hooking.
