How would I design a style for myself.I am very eclectic in my rug choices .How do I focus?How do I improve colour choices? What do you need to do to improve a presentation for a showing?

Hi there Deanne and Everyone, I really enjoy the Lives and appreciate the space it makes in my week. A little time for me – not that I don’t have me time – but it is somehow different. Hmmm? Marion’s idea of having a little notebook of tidbits we pick up in the show is a great idea! I may have to watch them all over again!

Good afternoon. Love the wools you are showing…question for you to ask your audience. Do you do your own designs? And, why do you choose the subject matter you do. And, if you buy your patterns what is your favorite subject matter to hook. Do you hook with wool yarn? Do you hook in wool strips? Do you hook in a combination of fabrics and yarn? What is your favorite foundation to hook on and why? And, why do you make these choices. How did you decide to pick up on hooking when and why? Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us. Love you and your Studio family. Hooking saved my life.. I picked it up in the fall of 2017. I was 75 years old. Now, I am 81 & 1/2 years old and addicted. Yes, I joined the 10 minute challenge. And, enjoy the community within that your videos bring. Thank you, Patricia Boeck

How do you decide how large or small to make a rug?
