Spools and Tools and Wools
Spools...
Threads can work for you!! I am a utilitarian type stitcher, I like to use the whip stitch to attach and creative stitches, like the basket to add texture and detail. Simple stitches is what I’m all about.
Tools....
We all use tools for wool applique and we all have our favorite ones that work best for us. There are many ways to trace, cut ,attach and stitch. I hope that in my patterns and the way I work helps you along the way.
Wools...
All sheep are not created equal! Lol. Meaning you need to examine the wools you choose. Too thick? Too thin? Where to begin? I love the ones that are a little different from one side to the other. Many choices

Hello , I'm Susan...

First I want to say thank you for taking the time to look at my patterns. I am having so much fun creating them.
Cutting wool and hooking rugs is a relaxing way to spend the day!
This is my Hubby, Kirk...
I am so lucky to have a supportive husband who jumps right in and helps with just about anything I ask. I couldn't do it without him. I also have a wonderful big family that always encourages me, so at the age of 65 I'm putting it out there and having fun.
