Rose Kandy
Unnamed
Design by Lois J. Morris
2003
15” x 15”
According to my memory, I began this piece in September 2003, when I took my retirement.
This cushion was never named as it was used as a teaching piece during a course given by Lois J Morris. We learned how to hold the material and the hook, to use the patterns, to create various stitches, and to finish a piece. The border is a braided black silk cord, and the back of the cushion is black fabric.

First Pillow

2012
20” x 20”
#6 cut background, various cuts for the details
This is the first thing I ever hooked. It was started in a beginner class with Lois J Morris at BHCG in 2012. A fun project, it is hooked with worms from a guild bag of goodies, torn up denim jean fabric and several shades of a wool blend from the remnant bin at my local fabric store. The background is #6 cut, and the design was hooked in various cuts depending on what the goodie bag offered.
