Salem Stitcher and I headed out to Fraser's this morning to get supplies for my first rug hooking project. I bought a hook and some wool for my Bee Content pattern I selected a few months back. I am going to made the cat an orange tabby and may find out soon that I have selected a more complicated pattern than I can handle and scale it back some. Seems you have to learn to strip before you can be a hooker. So the next step is to take this hand dyed wool and cut it into small strips. This is on my bucket list to learn....but it may be years before I get it done (making an entire quilt seems less daunting right now than this project)

You're hooked! ;)
Does Go Postal know that you are stripping??
;-)
Looks like a fun project. I don't know if I'll graduate from punching to hooking or not, so I'll just follow y'alls progress for now!
Have fun learning a new craft!
You'll catch on and it will go faster than you think!
You quilters are WILD - stripping and hooking!!! Drinking . . . riding motor cycles . . . what's next?!?!
