The mayflower rug is the first rug hooking experience I have had. The instructions were easy to follow.
LinArt Designs has many unique and beautiful patterns and kits, however I chose the mayflowers as it is the Provincial
Flower of Nova Scotia where I was born. I enjoyed creating this hooked rug. It is very beautiful.

70 years ago my sisters
and I hooked rag mats to protect the linoleum floors and keep it cozy under foot. My Dad drew the designs and we searched
for the strongest materials available. It was great fun. This past winter I hooked "The Sandy Point Lighthouse"
by LinArt Designs. It was my first experience in hooking with yarn. I added clouds, rocks and high tide to my
original pattern. I'm overjoyed with my project. This fall I am anxious to start a LinArt Designs rag mat.

| "The Cape Light" |
|
| Hooked by Rita's Jenkins Class, C.S. I, Nova Scotia |
|
|
I chose the "Cape Light" kit from LinArt Designs for my class in "Introduction To Rug Hooking". The kits contained
100% wool yarn in bright happy colours. The kits also contained a professionally silk screen pattern on quality
burlap with 2" seam allowance. The 15 students found the pattern easy to use and when finished they were all very pleased
with their project.

I chose the Leap Frog pattern from a selection of cartoon patterns and hooked this mat in hand dyed wool using a #4 cut.
It was a delight to hook and I am anxious to start my next project from the cartoon series. Keep designing those interesting
characters. This series would make lovely children's mats.
Happy hooking, Barbara
