A.T.H.A. newsletter ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!
another beautiful day here in Virginia...
sun & warm temps expected today ~ I am loving it!!!
I wanted to share my new
ATHA newsletter with you ~ I am a member of ATHA, region 3 here in VA,
((was a member of region 1 in CT))
(Association of Traditional Hooking Artists)

I am honored that so many of you enjoy my designs for rug hooking!!
and I'm especially thrilled when one of your adaptations of my designs makes it into a publication...
the following pics are of rugs that were taken at the 2011 Biennial
and are published in this issue:
a stunning cover (not my design) hooked by Cheryl D. Bollenbach
you can see my 'Glad Tidings' design
in the upper left hand corner of the left page, below:
it was hooked by Leanne Sitler and the pattern can be purchased at
www.Spruceridgestudios.com

the rug below is my
'Give Ye Thanks' pattern ~
it was hooked by Jan Winter and the pattern is also available from Kris at
www.Spruceridgestudios.com
I love how Jan hooked this, her colors are just beautiful!
Thanks to all of you who hook & share your work with us all :)

and, I just thought the picture, below, is so pretty...
the blue paint, the scrubbed top of my little table...
the way the sun touches the tulips in my little tin pitcher ~
~ SWEET ~
Have a wonderful, simply peaceful day, my Friends!!!
blessings from the farm,
Lori

I used to belong and let it drop, tempted to renew and love how they use color now. Your table photo is beautiful, love the play of light on the shadows.

Fun to see your designs hooked by others - you usually don't get to see them finished...how neat!
The table/chairs picture should be made into a springthyme card...!!
