  14. I love your mug rugs! Adorable. You do such amazing hand work. I wish you lived closer so you could go to the Winter Woolen Workshop. I could see you there having a blast. Two days and two mansions...every room full of fiber art. Quilting, knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving, needle felting, etc. etc. etc.

  15. I took up quilting one winter many years ago. My son was two, and I was determined to make a sampler quilt for his twin size bed. Each block was hand pieced, and it took me a year. I would love to win the mug rugs and dish towel! We were married on Valentine's Day and celebrate each year with a meal at home. I'm a follower, too. :-) Thank you dear Connie!
