such fantastic colours with this parakeet, it reminds me of florida(a long way from the 15 below weather here in south dakota) Hooking seems to be very like painting, and I am looking forward to learning about this new craft I have taken up. Your site is inspiring…thanks..

If there’s one thing and one thing only that I’ve learned from your Blog …. it’s that you live in a world of total enjoyment when you CAN break the rules. That IS what helps to make you the artist you have become. Keep on keeping on…. Jo

SIMPLY WONDERFUL! And to me, it has such an ‘Australian’ flair to it. That is what I thought before I read your description. I found the G in the middle of the sun, but I guess it doesn’t count since Laura mentioned it above!

Phyllis – The only thing that could have made it better would have been to work you into some sort of trio with us! (Maybe you should join us in Australia?) You are right about our community – it wasn’t a project … it was a labor of love. It was also great fun. Thanks for allowing the Yahooker’s group to sponsor such things. Jo-Anne does a great job with the organization. GRS

I’m so pleased that two people I like very much have met through a Yahooker swap – and that you will meet in person soon, too. I do love this rug hooking community!

How stunning……..What a lucky swapper the recipient is…….
I want to tell you about a recent Art Exhibit with many talented and well known artists……The theme was the Texture of Art and there were several pieces of hand dyed silk, a large Oriental exhibit, Art with glass, art with bees wax layers and very large oils and some small ones…………They handed out a piece of paper for everyone to vote for their favorite of the show……..Your Prodded table mat that I did and you showed on the blog, from your book cover was voted on as a favorite of all that stunning Art…….I just had to tell you that……….I have had so many compliments on it from both men and women……..

just a beautiful little gem… i had to log-in and comment. yes, i agree that 6×18 US is equivalent to 12×18 AUS. they have big spaces there. and i’m looking at the red sun for a subtle G.

i love eucalyptus and you do a beautiful job. it’s interesting to find out that Parakeets are from Auz. thanks for an interesting blog and beautiful eye-candy.

What a nice surprise this mat must have been! YES YOUR COLORS ARE SO THERE! I’m thinking one of these days I will have to order some Tahitian Sunset–maybe for my small version of Big Momma. Or have you bring it to Sauder. Have a good weekend. LC
