Dancing Rabbits.

 A lot of hookers in NS knew Linda Macdonald. She was a teacher, shop owner and she saved the Bluenose Patterns. She past away suddenly a few years ago and is missed.
This dancing rabbits pattern is a Bluenose Pattern I picked up at an auction her family had and
Judy just had to dance with these big bunnies...even though they look a tad angry.
Thinking of Linda..and when we can all can dance together again.

Twitter @LKenneyrugs

I have been thinking about Maud Lewis again....maybe as it is near Christmas, the season Maud loved. If you are on twitter, check out @LKenneyrugs as I am posting a few of my Maud rugs..reminding people that the film Maudie was not a documentary.

 It is tricky when you base a movie on a true story.

There are many people alive today that are upset by Maudie...they knew Maud and Ev..and about the Poor Farm. They didn't like the sugarcoating that went on in the movie. 


I am going to sign off for 2020.

I want to wish you a lovely holiday...and hang in there.

International Rug hooking Day.

 

Happy International Rug Hooking Day.
I am so grateful to the women who first took a feed bag, ripped it open, and hooked with worn clothing so many years ago.
And, here is to the women today who continue to push rug hooking in new and exciting ways....keep going ladies.
