Playing around with scraps today. Of course, I’m pretty picky about my scraps. This woven rug is 26” by 44.”

I’m having a great week with the Rug Hookers of Pebblecreek in Goodyear, AZ. We even dyed a big batch of ordered pancake wool today.

This is me celebrating Halloween With my Granddaughter Jane. The tree is done and the boxes are put away.

Playing around with some wool that needs a certain arrangement of special colors. I keep wondering if, maybe, I should add some purple and teal?

Just finished a great 3-day rug hooking workshop in Springdale, Arkansas! It was incredibly fun to be with such a wonderful group of artists. Thank you to Denise Peacock from Simply Rustic Gifts for hosting me the event.

Just wove 6 rag rugs for my daughter’s new condo. As I am tired of knotting and twist fringing edges, got her older sister to machine sew a heavy duty hem. I’m never knotting again!

Finally cool enough to sit outside and enjoy the view.

Just put a few related 1 YD wool collections, in these colors, on my Specials sale page at www.geneshepherd.com. I like this wool for rug hooking, quilting & wool appliqué. All specials have free S & H.

Just put a few related 1YD hand-dyed wool collections in these colors on my Specials section at www.geneshepherd.com. I like this kind of collection for rug hooking, quilting & appliqué. All Specials have free S & H.

Seems like everything in my studio this morning has gone to pot.

It’s Sunday and I’ve already claimed my spot for on line services. I stream through the 9:19 AM service at Fullerton Free but you can catch them any time on their site. Sunday’s also the day I pray for all my Instagram friends. I’m asking God to keep you well, safe, protected and encouraged.

It seemed like so much more when I was dyeing it. Just 30 yards and I’ll do another 15 today.
