Cabin Creek 15 Year Anniversary Giveaway

June 1996 is when I started my first paper catalog, selling patterns and teaching rug hooking.

I decided to give away a rug hooking pattern in celebration to one lucky winner!

The Sheep Runner (designed in 1996) was my first runner pattern which led to many more runners and also became one of my most popular selling patterns.

size is 49 1/2" x 12 1/2"

If you click on the above image you will see a very large image and get a much better idea of the design.

You will win the pattern ONLY...not the hooked design...This will be drawn on monk's cloth (sorry...no linen).

There are 3 ways to win!

Giveaway ends midnight mountain time June 30 and will be announced July 4th....yes, I know...a few days after...I'll be in Colorado attending a workshop with Victoria Ingalls and I have an idea I won't be on the internet too often with all the hooking I'll be doing!!!

Fall Runner Finished!!!

Our Fall Runner Block of the Month rug is finished. Karen did a beautiful job on this pattern. She even prodded the flowers.

Karen does have kits available for this on her web site The Wool Basket.

Framed Hooked Flowers

The inspiration for this little piece came from some old quilting fabric. The fabric had beautiful cream and rose colored flowers on a blue background that caught my eye. (Of course I changed the rose to gold).

I cut strips of several shades of one color and hooked them as they came. The background was hooked using 2 shades of the blue.
Then I found a fun chippy white frame to finish it off.
This quick and easy project is featured in the June issue of Create & Decorate.

Kits are available at The Wool Basket

Rabbit Applique Pillow and Hooked Rug

Look what Dawn from The Wool Basket did with my rabbit pattern!!!!

She decided she wanted to make a wool applique pillow....I absolutely love what she came up with!

I think her colors are great. The ball fringe is so cool! And look at that cottontail!
Yes, I will have a wool applique pattern available soon for this pattern and Dawn's pillow will be on the cover.

Karen (owner of The Wool Basket) decided to hook one for the shop.
She choose to make a brown bunny with a light background, grass and pink and blue flowers.

I love them both!

Thanks gals!

Garden Rabbit just in time for Easter...

It's finished!!

I'm not totally sure that I'm happy with the dark green border but it will have to do. I had limited wool with me and originally it was going to be a lighter green but that did not go well at all.

I did change the green leaves I used from this earlier post, it was a little too dark and blended in with the gold background too much for my taste.

Anyway, he's cute and will make a nice table mat for Easter and spring....if spring ever gets to this part of the country this year!!!!

Now I need to hustle and get this little rug pattern on my website, it's already been selling....

Thanks for taking a look!

Deer & Pine Trees

This a new little venture for me.

I received a call from Keepsake Quilting asking if I would be interested in having them carry my newest WoolFelt pattern and kits.

No way was I turning that down!!! I have to at least give it a try and see how it goes!!!

The tablemat is 23" across and made using National NonWoven WoolFelt.

I enjoy working with both woven wool and the non woven. Each has it's own unique qualities and I have to say using the WoolFelt certainly makes cutting out the more detailed shapes a whole lot easier than using woven felted wool. This went together much faster than I expected and makes a great centerpiece in the middle of my dining room table.

I set an old crock in the middle and fill it full of pine cones or pine boughs. It would be great cabin decor!

(P.S. patterns and kits are available on my website or of course...Keepsake Quilting!!!)

Garden Rabbit

Will we ever see Spring???

It still feels like winter living in Minnesota, while most of the country is starting to feel warmer temperatures, more snow is coming for us.

It helps the cabin fever a little by starting a new hooked rug with colorful wools and a Springtime look.

This is my Garden Rabbit design, originally much larger but after a shop requested a smaller version, I liked this smaller size so well that I drew a pattern for myself and started hooking.

I wanted a gray or white rabbit so I settled on light gray, I thought pink and greens and a warm yellow background would be colorful. I have this darker gold wool I'd like to use up and it seems to be working so far.

I think I'll need to use a slightly lighter green for the stems and leaves, what I have so far may not show up well in that deep gold.

The wools used so far.,
