Hello Friends, We have finally had some time to add a few new things! A fabulous wool applique book called WOOL CRAZY. This book is full of ideas, designs and inspiration!!! A new trivet kit which is a reproduction of a small part of a favorite antique rug---so unusual and way fun to hook! Another thing that is new is our Wool-24. We had so much trouble with the old color never turning out the same twice that we worked up a new formula---it is a wonderful color and will instantly age a rug with its odd mix of soft colors. We are looking at adding more wool applique kits and patterns and are also working on a new hooked cat pillow for next spring. Our old cat pillow has finally sold out---the wool we used is no longer available. Have picked some new bolts for the cat but need to re-design it to work in the new colors. So much to do and so little time!!! As always, we want to thank you all for your continued support...judging by your comments and calls, you love what you do as much as we do! We couldn't do it without you! Wishing you all the very best, Jill and Mike Holmes

WOOL CRAZY MODEL
This is the piece that I worked up using the WOOL CRAZY book. I chose to combine different seasonal things all into one wall hanging. The book has a zillion more designs and the crazy quilt in the book has a full quilt done with four different blocks. I intend to do the big quilt eventually. You can add in your own ideas very easily once you have the basic crazy quilt block put together. I loved every minute of this project!!!
