THE QUEEN OF RUG HOOKING BEING TAUGHT AT SAUDER VILLAGE

I am teaching a retreat on the Queen of Rug Hooking at Sauder Village this August. I am showing many embellishments and problem solving ideas with her. We will be using different materials to manipulate her structure. I did not think of just using her as a wall hanging so if you are interested in learning the applications without the 3-d ,I will be glad to accommodate that option. I will show you my work in progress as well as the finished product. I hope you can join me at Sauder.Sorry for the threads etc. I was not going to share this photo when I took it. Loose threads and lint is a no - no.

She has a bustle which opens for storage. I used sari silk ribbon, fur, polar fleece, this puff material, ribbons, faux shirret, fringe, velvet, beads, and made hooks for her. Isculpted some of her with a doll needle. She was fun to experiment on.

She was vacationing in Mexico so that is where the pictures were taken.

I am also teaching a one day class on making birds. Here are some in a cage I made and some who got out.

 They are a quick and easy project. The legs take a little time and some skill.
