<div class="MsoNormal">
The sunshine brightly in the downtown Truro NS area on a cold Tuesday in February. I was meeting up with friends Shaughney and Sherry from Wolfville NS for lunch and to catch up. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A lovely couple were skating to music on the outdoor rink downtown. For a brief moment I wanted to put my skates but stiff joints reminded me to just let that be a memory plus my nostrils stuck together in the cold. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My friend Beverly Levine had a lovely rug display in the public library were we were headed. The old building must have been one of the original buildings in Truro built in 1877 and surely to hold many secrets! We admired the rugs and had lunch and then ended up at Frenchy’s in church where I found this big a Lopi sweater obviously the sweater had been was old but the tag read 100% wool and $2.50! My friends looked at me thinking I was as crazy as a loon and hubby Gord raised one eyebrow only so that solidified my insaneness. God love him as he puts up with my creativity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I unraveled it took several days to do. Not working on it constantly but you know in front of the TV a spare minute anyway I ended up with 800 yards and 800 g of a beautiful yarn!</div>

I could not image doing this kind of dyeing using any other system.Loopie Lucyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13156703029643047561noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133616989026733264.post-69380721536095356002019-02-14T05:01:00.000-08:002019-02-14T05:01:19.275-08:00BREAKING FREE Be prepared to have your Mind Blown!<br />
Please allow to present this stunning rug. BREAKING FREE is a 3D geometric that boggle the mind with delight. One can read many things into this piece! And take on many meanings.<br />
When Linda first told me about this rug in mind I thought she was nuts to attempt it! I eat these words and bow to a top notch designer and artist! If this is her debut the look out world!<br />
Designed and hooked by my friend Linda Stockford of New Brunswick Canada. Linda is a member of my Facebook group The Wooly Mason Jar Rug Hooking and live not far from me. I had the honor to teach her my system of dyeing and see for yourself what can be done if you can dye your own swatches. Here are Linda’s words from our chat that she has allowed me to share.<br />
“First I used Costco wrapping paper with the graph on the back to draw it on. (I am frugal). All dyed with The Wooly Mason Jar Color Wheel dye system in the microwave.<br />
-7 different colours with 70 different values.<br />
- It took 8 hours to draw the graph on rug warp.<br />
-It has 2880 3/4 in squares. <br />
-Each square has about 42 loops, that works out to about 120960.00 loops.<br />
-It took 140.3 hours to hook. This does not include any dyeing or drawing time. And all the other parts of doing a rug. <br />
<br />
I am going to have it framed. It is 27x60.”<br />

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">An old rug and a not so old story.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 19px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">This is the story of how I met my dear online friend Linda Low of Newfoundland. Linda and I were just about to meet in person but Linda left this world in 2015 to teacher rug hooking in heaven.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 19px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">we met when Linda became a member of The Wooly Mason Jar Rug Hooking group on Facebook and asked the question on how to fix a Cheticamp rug. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 19px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">Well of course I'm always full of answers if I don't actually have to do the work myself so I told her to go ahead and try to patch it, that it would be easy! </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">And of course it would not be easy and Linda and I begin communicating online and became good friends! Linda told me she was just starting to live her life since she retired and became a rug hooking teacher. Oh how she loved meeting new people and sharing her gift of teaching with others. Linda was the owner of Chapeau Rouge Rug Hooking.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"><span style="font-size: 19pt;"> Before Linda passed away she sent her son she called me and told me she would like me to have the Cheticamp rug that I told her would be easy to fix she told me to go ahead and toss it out and not feel bad but until now I couldn't. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">Cheticamp rugs in the day were made by the ladies of Cheticamp, Cape Breton Nova Scotia. A village nestled at the base of the Cabot Trail. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 19px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">These rugs were hooked on huge frames with tiny little hooks with fine yarn. They were world renowned and scattered in stately homes and government houses. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">The skilled hooker ladies were paid by the inch so if you look at the back of a Cheticamp rug you will see the squares. I've taken some photos so that I can show you how to tell a true Cheticamp. You literally see the little squares and even see where different Hookers have worked. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;">If anybody would like to have this rug please let me know I cannot seem to throw it out all of those hours that the lady spent pulling loops and then the years that Linda had it on the floor near the bed let me know and I'll pass it on if you'd like to have it. </span></div>

Hosted yearly by Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia has so much to offer.<br />
While there for the first time this year I tjought I would drop by some of the classes and give you some idea of what it is like.<br />
<br />
Susie Stephenson owner and creator of Stephenson Fiber Arts located in Maine USA was this years teacher of Folk Art.<br />
I visited Susie’s class several times over the week and took a few photos and Susie allowed me to listen in and even gave me a chair.<br />
The lighthearted banter and laughter as people learned to set their imaginations free to create was so inspiring I just wanted to be part of it. This class is guaranteed to be a great memory for everyone who participates!<br />
Susie’s colorful, vibrant and whimsical personality is contagious! From her colorful wool dreadlocks to her homespun and knit tights and socks Susie glows in creativity! She brought samples of her rugs and creative art for the students to see, all will make you smile and let go of the stresses of life.<br />

This freedom is necessary to create works that you will be happy with. Color planning is a breeze, and never settling for a color that isn't quite right. Why settle?

Searsport has 103" linen! Yes 103 inches that is 8 1/2 feet WIDE. t always suggest to buy this linen in 1 1/2 yds increments as you can get 3 - 34 x 52" pieces in it.<br>

When we left and I came out of my wool induced trance I peered into where the backseat once was and seen yard upon yard of luscious wool! Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. My friend Marguerite then reminded me that we were stopping back on the way home to pick up the multiple patterns that were ordered....and linen...and aprons...and well you got the story.<br>

I made a few changes as you see with adding more saturated colors and no leaves.

Moose River Rug Hooking Studio in Nova Scotia has already had 2 full workshops and had to have a 3rd "Back by popular demand" class in December. My friend Barb Leduc has been teaching and selling for me but will be leaving for Florida for the winter soon so I have to do it myself.<br />
I am leaving soon and am scared to death...my knees are shaking but since this is my invention I know everything about it. <br />
Teacher love the system as a teaching tool as it is so easy.<br />
I would have let you all know sooner but I didn't want to jinx myself. Wish me luck.<br />

I realized that I had to mirror image the cat so it can be in the proper corner of the couch. <br />
I am now using the values that I have dyes and almost have most of the face done. The body will go easier and them to the background. <br />
My sisters couch is a primitive gold color so I am thinking that I will put a nice primitive dark red background behind the grey cat.....that is what I am thinking right now but that can change at any thought.<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I decided to make my sister a memory rughooked pillow of her cat Angelica who went over the rainbow a year or so ago. Annette says sometimes she thinks she still hears her in the house. This pillow will sit in the same spot that Angelica sat for 12 years and will be a nice reminder and surprise.</div>I don't have to worry about her reading my blog as she has no interest in rughooking or what I do, lol.<br />
Anyway I started with a recycled scarf and thought I would like to do the whole cat with it but due to the amount of wasted color I will not have enough so I am starting over with some values that I dyed using my Easy Wooly Mason Jar Color Wheel swatch recipe cards.<br />
