   Holly Purse, perfect for Christmas!, designed and hooked by Elaine Cathcart. A great gift for a friend. Easy and fun to hook.

      Magdalena's Animal Purse hooked and designed by Elaine Cathcart. A super way to use your leftover wools.

The second Magdalena's Animal Purse hooked by Kathy Applegate, Fort Worth, Texas. Goes with everything!

Ellie Beck hooked the third Magdalena's Purse. The light background of this purse is super. The animals sort of dance around the purse. Very playful and fun.

The fourth Magdalena's Animal Purse was hooked by Jule Marie Smith, Balston Spa, New York. Her playful colors and the way she did her strape and lining are fun. Love the paisley pin on the top of the bag. Thanks wonderful friend.

Thirza Youker of Fort Wayne, Indiana, hooked the fifth Magdalena's Animal Purse. Her red mule is outstanding. The color play of her animals is very lively.

  Floating Spheres, Rita Barnard of Ann Arbor, Michigan, hooked this handbag. She dyed all the wool for the "spheres." The black background makes the spheres magical. This is one cheery project. Thanks, Rita.

  Starz,  hooked by Elaine Cathcart, Athens, Tennessee. This wonderful handbag was hooked with a dark background and then Elaine used plenty of colors for the design. A great look.

The second StarZ purse was hooked by Carol Mayer of East Berlin, Pennsylvania. Also a great look with the soft colors. These purses look great in just any color combination.

Tennessee Posies on the left was hooked by Elaine. Again a super design. In this one Wayne did the photo so you could see the shoulder strap.

The second Tennessee Posies is very cheerful and happy. Cynthia Postmas, Charlevoix, Michigan, had a great time hooking this.

Mary Jane McCrory, Belleville, Michigan, hooked the third purse. Her colors are very graphic and good.

Kathy Applegate, Fort Worth, Texas, hooked the fourth purse, another great bag. Fun to do and definitely fun to use.

Patti Malone of Felton, Delaware, hooked the fifth Tennessee Posies.

   Spheres, hooked by Elaine. The bag on the left is hooked with wool and the one on the right is hooked with cotton. One great for winter and the other a perfect summer bag.

Happy Hearts, on the left was hooked by Elaine Cathcart. Perfect for red hearts or hit n miss hearts. You can have a lot of fun with this pattern.

Happy Hearts, on the right, a fun cheery purse hooked by Judy Hill of Saint Simons Island, Georgia. I love her red background.

We also have two purse patterns in the Edyth O'Neill designs.

Christmas Stockings

These Christmas stockings are 22 inches long. Just a GREAT look and plenty of room for lots of presents! The pattern comes with two stockings -- you can hook both and sew them together or use wool on the back of each one and you will have two stockings.

Our thanks to Elaine for allowing us to print these great designs.

    Barb's Frosty Doorstop and Bobbie's Snowlady. Frosty is 14 inches high and Snowlady is 12½ inches high. Price for either pattern is $36.00 on linen. These are adorable together or individually. Great as a gift for your best friend. Frosty was hooked by Barb in 1995, Bobbie kept saying he needed a girlfriend so along came the Snowlady, hooked by Bobbie True. All of the instructions to hook and put these together are included. Also the pattern to cut Snowlady's shawl. Note the nifty "confetti" snow that Bobbie used in Snowlady. Look in your yard to find the arms. You can hook star buttons for Frosty or sew on buttons as I did.  Use a long narrow piece of wool for his scarf.

The Barb's Frosty Doorstop on the right was hooked by Brenda of Stillwater, Minnesota. I love the direction she used for the body of Frosty. A fun fellow he is!
