Apple Tile | 8" | monkscloth - $10.00 | linen - $13.00

This will be the topic of a mini class at camp this fall. It looks great with the beaded border and the apple hanger ($6.50) too!

Spring Fever | 23" x 35" | monkscloth - $39.00 | linen - $53.00

Dip dyes are my least favourite dyed wool to work with, but they worked well for these pansies!

Violets | 10" x 24" | monkscloth - $15.00 | linen - $21.00

Just a lovely little piece, here done with 2 different flower swatches for interest.

Paradise Treat | 13" x 16" | monkscloth - $21.00 | linen - $27.00

A lovely small shaded piece...nice for a footstool or framed picture.

Berry Branch | 11" x 20" | monkscloth - $15.00 | verel - $21.00

A great beginning hooker project...or just to use up leftovers! Berries can be any colour you wish.

Iris Tile | 6" x 8" | monkscloth - $10.00 | linen - $13.00

Here are two beautifully shaded iris tiles in matching frames.

Irises come in many colours: Why not try using two swatches? One for the top, and a different swatch for the bottom petals. Skip the background if you have it printed on verel, a synthetic fabric.

Dudley's Pride | 40" x 52" | monkscloth - $66.00 | linen - $92.00

This photo shows an early Dudley, when the pattern came with scrolls on the sides. Since several people asked to have this printed without the scrolls, I decided to permanently remove them. It's still a large pattern, with beautiful floral detail to intrigue you.

Appliques | 27" x 31" | monkscloth - $34.00 | linen - $47.00

Ann Tuttle had a lot of leftover crewel odds and ends, so we used them up in Appliques.  This pattern looks both crewel like and modern at the same time. 

Sweet Surrender | 14" x 16" | monkscloth - $17.00 | linen - $23.00

This can also be hooked on verel, eliminating the need for a hooked background.

Romance | 29" x 29" | monkscloth - $58.00 | linen - $81.00

Dainty small flowers, interspersed with roses...scrolls and flowers in the corners.

Pansies | 14" x 14" | monkscloth - $13.00 | linen - $17.00

Pansies are a colourful and easy way to learn shading...this size pattern is versatile, as it can be a table mat, bag, wall hanging or even a chair seat.

Irises | 16" x 21" | monkscloth - $21.00 | $27.00

If you wish to not hook the background, but merely do the shaded detail, then order this on verel, a synthetic backing.

Sarah | 8" x 16" | monkscloth - $13.00 | linen - $17.00

This lovely little footstool sized piece can be made with leftover swatches.

 Full Basket | 27" x 40" | monkscloth - $53.00 | linen - $74.00

This is a very beautiful 1/2 round design that was included when I bought New Earth Designs.   This one that I hooked with Sandy Cheverie as a teacher, hangs in my studio and has inspired quite a few students to learn to shade!  I love the warm, antiquey swatches that I chose from my stash,  and how they work with the hodge podge of "blacks" in the background.  It's a big basket!

Nancy Blood was the teacher for the richly coloured version below, hooked by Joann Durst.

Fall Harvest | 18" x 31" | monkscloth - $29.00 | linen - $41.00

A good pattern to learn shading on; it's not too big and can be very colourful.  I like the muted tones and the attractive shading in the top "fall harvest." The bottom one is a #5 cut, and looks great in my kitchen.

Crewel Bell Pull

7" x 47"

monkscloth - $34.00
linen - $47.00

This would be a good way to learn to hook crewel motifs!

Floral Bell Pull

8" x 48"

monkscloth - $34.00
linen - $47.00

A good way to learn shading on basic flowers.   I used pinks and purples on mine with a purply black Crow Feathers background.

Pear Tile | monkscloth - $10.00 | linen - $13.00

Chizuko Hayami, a rug hooking teacher from Japan, made a wonderful tote bag from my "Pear Tile."  She has been twice to visit me with her students! See also her "Sandy's Village."

Fruit Bellpull

8" x 48"

monkscloth - $34.00
linen - $47.00

Not your average fruit bellpull; this one will challenge you with mangoes, oranges, and a pineapple...as well as the usual strawberries, grapes, pears, etc.

Anne | 30" x 49" | monkscloth - $61.00 | linen - $85.00

A classic crewel type design with an opposite repeat.  The exotic birds are fun to colour plan.  This one was hooked by Ann Tuttle.

Neptune's Kingdom | 16" x 24" | monkscloth - $23.00 | linen - $32.00

Another fun piece for the people who live on the coast, or merely for those who own fish tanks...

Lots of beautiful colour, and great water motion in this "Neptune's Kingdom" to the right, hooked by Peg Henderson.

Shore Treasures | 24" x 36" | monkscloth - $39.00 | linen - $53.00

Sand and water make a dual background for the driftwood and shells!  A good rug for the coastal hookers!

Summer Garden | 18" round | monkscloth - $21.00 | linen - $27.00

Dahlias, zinnias and tiny flowers abound.  Transitional swatches, or cross swatching, will make this piece a standout!

Susan | 28" x 41" | monkscloth - $53.00 | linen - $74.00

Here's a traditional shaded floral with simple scroll design.  This attractive one was hooked by Connie Pratt.

Sweetheart | 8" x 12" | monkscloth - $13.00 | linen - $17.00

If you enjoy 3 cut, you might like to make this as a gift. . .it's so tiny it doesn't take much wool!  Here it is in a hoop, but it could also be part of a purse, or even a pillow.

The "Sweetheart" on the right was hooked by Connie Pratt on verel, a synthetic backing – no background to do.
