Yellow table rug, 10" X 13" linen, wool, metal, Lori LaBerge 2012
This week has been a
wonderful combination of dyeing, hooking, whipping edges, stitching
metal to fiber and designing. I love the table rugs. They are
wonderful for displaying pottery and look great on coffee tables,
sofa tables and chests. The rugs will be available for purchase at
the Carolina Designer Craftsmen show in November.

The whipped edges were
finally finished this week. After the edges were finished, the
various hardware parts purchased last week were poured onto the
studio table. Decisions were made as to which metal parts would go
on which rug, then the parts were scraped and painted according to what was needed for the design.

I also purchased some art
this week. My husband and I took a ride toward Banner Elk, passed a
little gallery and had to turn around to go take a peek inside. I'm
so glad we did as we had the chance to meet Sally Nooney. The
gallery was full of her paintings, fused glass and jewelry. She was
a delight to visit with and we talked about art, painting, glass and
rug hooking for at least an hour.

I love exploring back roads
and finding little gems like Sally's gallery. Enjoy a weekend ride
near your home, explore new places for art and have a great day.
