Dandy Dane Swank.jpg (104729 bytes) A Dandy Dane, 21 x 28. This is a fun rug. You can use either a dark or light background. Be sure to use several wools in the background to give you an interesting play of color. In the border, use your leftover bits and pieces from your other rugs. This example was hooked by Sue Swank of Shelby, Ohio. Sue started this rug at a Woolley Fox Mini Workshop. Take a good look at her background. I love the puddles of color in it. Her border is just a very simple collection of wool around the rug.

alongthetrail-GHostetler.jpg (84688 bytes) Along the Trail, 26 x 50, hooked by Grace Hostetler of Claysville, Pennsylvania. First Place and Best of Show, Washington County Fair. I think that Grace's trees and border spark up and make this rug a fun piece. Congratulations to Grace on her ribbon!

The second from the left was hooked by Stacy Price, Kansas (her teacher is Anita White).

Phyllis Knupp of Ligonier, Pennsylvania, hooked the center rug. Phyllis's border treatment is super on this rug. There are 13 stars in the border.

Debby Lipson, of Stamford, Connecticut, hooked the rug fourth from the left. She won Second Place at the Barnstable County Fair in Cape Cod with this rug.

The rug second from the end was hooked by Kay Casten, of West Des Moines, Iowa. Kay extended the rug and brought the flag out into the border area.

Kathi Blake of Rochester, Minnesota, hooked the rug on the end. Her autumn trees are wonderful and sort of play with the color on the barn. All six of these rugs are wonderful. A big thank-you to all of these ladies and to Warren for his wonderful design.

American Barn Beth.jpg (148987 bytes) Beth Stitely, Boonsboro, Maryland, hooked this wonderful American Barn, 30 x 37, her autumn fields and trees are super. And as always I love this sky.

AmPigCookie.jpg (96910 bytes) American Pig, 21 x 32, hooked by Cookie Soisson of Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Cookie used all of her leftover strips for the border in this rug. A great place to do that.

American Sheep Morin.jpg (138530 bytes) amsheepcochrane.jpg (53496 bytes) AmsheepWilhelm.jpg (70148 bytes)  American Sheep, 29 x 29. The rug on the left is a super rug hooked by Susan Morin, Big Canoe, Georgia. I love the patriotic feel of this rug. Warren is truly a "red, white and blue" person and his patriotic artwork is super in hooked rugs. A big thank you to Susan and Warren.

The American Sheep in the center was hooked by Annette Cochrane of Omaha, Nebraska. I love her taupe sky, and of course I love black sheep (I am one!). 

The third rug was hooked by De Etta Wilhelm of Lincoln, Nebraska. She is a student of Soni Cassell (they are hooking some real nice pieces, thanks). De Etta hooked the background with flag colors; however, this would also be nice with the flag done in two shades of blue as in the American Barn above.

A Slioce of Summer K Roberts.jpg (62784 bytes) sliceofsummer JoanneSperanza.jpg (87880 bytes) A Slice of Summer, 14 x 29, hooked by Karen Roberts, Bonner Springs, Kansas. Karen hooked this at a Woolley Fox mini workshop and we had a lot fun with this small but festive rug. Surely makes you think of the warm and sunny summer days.

The second A Slice of Summer was hooked by Joanne Speranza, Delmont, Pennsylvania. Joanne loves her background. Note the odd wool just wandering through the background. Adds a neat movement to the rug.

autumn parcheesi gayle hill.jpg (85286 bytes) autumnparcheesi-KarenDouthe.jpg (106309 bytes) Autumn Parcheesi, 23 x 41. At left, a delightful rug hooked by Gayle Hill, Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Gayle's color choices just say welcome to Fall. Very folky and warm.

Barnyard Christmas Magnuson.jpg (79865 bytes) Barnyard Christmas, 30 x 51, was hooked by Mary Magnuson, of Stillwater, Minnesota. Mary hooked this during the Arrow Rock School. I love the simplicity and peacefulness of this rug. Thanks Mary.

Bee Skep Pino.jpg (141999 bytes) Bee Skep, 15 x 44, hooked by Johanna Pino, Stuyvesant, New York. Johanna hooked this rug at the Kinderhook Rug Camp at the end of January. Sure brought a touch of spring to our hearts! Note the color of the bees. If she had hooked them in black and gold you would not be able to see the bees very well. So, red and gold bees are the ticket here.

burnt hills leeman.jpg (123702 bytes) Burnt Hills Virage.jpg (53114 bytes) Burnt Hills Sims.jpg (114107 bytes) burnt hills sue.jpg (158997 bytes) burnt hills rinehart.jpg (128439 bytes) burnthills ArlineKeeling.jpg (147814 bytes) Burnt Hills, 26 x 32. The rug on the left was hooked by Genevieve Leeman of Spring Hill, Florida. I love the hills in this rug. They are truly alive. Genevieve added the border and carried the hill colors around the rug.

The second rug was hooked by Carole Virag. She did a great job with the hills. She used several greens and then just moved them around in the different sections of the hillside. Her sky is super. The wool she used for the border is one plaid, which when hooked sort of looks like a wood frame.

Pat Sims, Hiawatha, Iowa, hooked the third rug. Again, I love the hills in her rug. The blue house with the blue sky is wonderful. The red house, red barn and red apples form a "triangle of color" which balances this rug perfectly.

Sue McCann, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, hooked the fourth Burnt Hills. The use of the rust for the trees provides a great "spark" with the white house. All of Sue's clouds were hooked with different wools. A fun way to do these.

Polly Rhinehart hooked the fifth Burnt Hills, 26 x 32 I love everything about this rug. Very stately and elegant. Thanks, Polly.

Arline Keeling of Roy, Utah, hooked the sixth Burnt Hills above. She used a two cut for the outline of the windows! Yikes! Arline's hills are just wonderful. You can "feel" the freshness of them. The softness of the sky and clouds echoes the softness of the large central house.

burnthills WandaHurliman.jpg (112496 bytes) Burnt Hills, 26 x 32. Hooked by Wanda Hurliman of Tillamook, Oregon. Absolutely a great feeling of Fall. Wanda's color story is fun, warm and cozy. Makes your heart full. The blue sky which is a compliment of the rust hills adds so much color strength. Very nice.

Thanks Ellen.

Nora Sternecker hooked the second delightful Christmas Chums. I think this rug is super in just about any color story. Very wonderful.

The third Christmas Chums was hooked by Sherry Sayles of Elkhart, Indiana. Sherry's cat is neat, and I love the beard on this Santa. This rug is pure Christmas fun.

cliffnada.jpg (38977 bytes) suncrownada.jpg (26147 bytes) Both of these rugs were hooked by Nada Lind of Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Cliff, 23 x 26, was hooked for Nada's daughter Tessa. Cliff is one happy fellow on that braided rug. Sunflower and Crows, 29 x 23, in totally different colors than the one above done by Diane Denmead. Both very well done and interesting.

countryhouse PatKlavuhn.jpg (155153 bytes) Country House, 32 x 20, hooked by Pat Klavuhn of Bedford, Pennsylvania. A fun rug with wonderful colors. Pat's trees are super!

country school house kathy anchom.jpg (151099 bytes) countryschoolhouse MaryannGearinger.jpg (79056 bytes) Country School House, 32 x 20, hooked by Kathy Ashcomb, one of Barb's local students! I love Kathy's purple tree trunks. Just sets off the sky. Very neat.

The second Country School House was hooked by Maryann Gearinger.  Very meaningful for Maryann.  She retired from teaching after 48 years!!!!  Her rust trees are super neat with the red school house. 

Cozy Bunny Sayles.jpg (85002 bytes) Cozy Bunny Speranza.jpg (45057 bytes) Cozy Bunnie rutledge.jpg (112286 bytes)  Cozy Bunny, 20 x 21. Sherry Sayles, Elkhart, Indiana, hooked the rug on the left. A fun small rug that is a super rendition of Warren's Cozy Bunny. I love the play with the "blacks and whites" and the spark of the orange for the carrot.

Joanne Speranza of Murraysville, Pennsylvania, hooked and prodded this delightful rug in the middle. Joanne had this rug framed - just a wonderful rug. I love the background.

The rug on the right was hooked by Martha Rutledge of Lakeway, Texas. Martha's sky and grass are the same intensity and make a wonderful background for this bunny. I love the spark of the orange carrot. Her braided border is wonderful.

DoubleRoostersCornell.jpg (76775 bytes) Double Roosters, 18 x 47, hooked by Nancy Cornell of Fredericksburg, Texas. Nancy used fun colors in the combs and feathers and then brought the colors to the border. Her backgrounds are quiet, which keeps the simplicity of the rug correct.

fruitbasket PennyGessner.jpg (121310 bytes) Fruit Basket polly.jpg (110139 bytes) fruitbasket BetteBryant.jpg (132744 bytes) The rug on the left was hooked by Penny Gessner. Fruit Basket 26 x 32, is the size of the original pattern without the special border. A fun hooking project. This border is not available. It was hooked by Penny in a class with Jule Marie Smith.

The second rug was hooked by Polly Reinhart, Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Her grapes are sparky and fun. This rug is super and the great plaid for the border is just right.

Fruit Basket, 26 x 32, hooked by Bette Bryant of Fairview, Tennessee, at the Star of Texas Rug Camp. The basket and the grapes are my most favorite part of this rug. Love the background too.

Great Cat Bennett.jpg (67669 bytes) Great Cat, 22 x 32, and very great this cat is too. Betty Bennett, of Ligonier, Pennsylvania, hooked this cool cat. A big thanks to Betty and to Warren Kimble for such a super fellow.

HomeForTheSummerSchram.jpg (36691 bytes) Home for the Summer, 28 x 23, hooked by Louise Schram of White House, Ohio. A fun, simple design that allows you to play with your color. Notice that her bird colors are reversed. This truly does look like a peaceful summer day.

keepingwatch JoanneSperanza.jpg (241374 bytes) keepingwatch DebraInglis.jpg (168659 bytes) Keeping Watch, 23 x 29, hooked by Joanne Speranza, one of Barb's students. The "eyes have it" with this rug. Just fun and special. Joanne's owl is wonderful.

The second Keeping Watch was hooked by Debra Inglis of San Augustine, Texas. The orange in the owl's eyes is wonderful and the teal moon is neat too.

Meow Mama Lisa.jpg (152955 bytes) meow mama betty.jpg (120362 bytes) Meow Mama, 21 x 30 a super new Warren Kimble pattern, just simple, fun and good. The rug on the left hooked by Lisa Baughman, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Do you not love Lisa's background? She had all of these reds and came up with this great idea to use them. Just a neat rug.

Betty Bennett, Ligonier, Pennsylvania, hooked the Meow Mama on the right. I love her cats. Super that they are not the same -- note the "quiet" star in her background top left.

missnellieandfriend-JWikste.jpg (114675 bytes) missnellieWesleeHursh.jpg (137650 bytes) Miss Nellie and Friend, 24 x 27 and 21 x 24, hooked by Joan Wiksten, Topeka, Kansas. Fun border with this fun rug. Joan is fun too!

Papplebarb.jpg (51874 bytes) Pineapple Porta.jpg (101314 bytes) Pineapple SM Painter.jpg (75868 bytes) Pineapple Flanagan.jpg (73350 bytes) Pineapple Gail.jpg (98837 bytes) Pineapple. This rug pattern comes in three sizes, 18 X 35, 23 X 45, and 30 X 58. Note the uses of different golds in the pineapple. I used about eight golds in all and then hooked one gold wool in an entire section of the pineapple. This ages the rug instantly, and is big fun to do. Also note that one of the top leaves on the pineapple is different from the others. I used the gold wools from the pineapple for the "swirls" around the rug.

The smaller Pineapple second from the left (18 x 35) was hooked by Doe Porta, Murraysville, Pennsylvania. Her background is awesome. Thanks, Doe.

The rug in the middle, also the small size (18 x 35), was hooked by Mary Painter, Winchester, Virginia. Her border and background are nifty. I also love the color of her big leaves.

The fourth rug was hooked by Mary Flanagan, Picket, Wisconsin. Mary told me she hooked this with no teacher. She read "American Primitive Hooked Rugs" and took a class from Jule Marie Smith which helped her with her border. Very nice, and thanks! I truly LOVE Warren's pineapple. Mary has Mary Flanagan Woolens and her email is info@mfwoolens.com and her phone is 920-589-2221. Give them a ring and either Mary or Scott will be glad to send you samples.

Another delightful Pineapple, hooked by Gail Whitcomb, Massena, New York. The double outline in the big leaves just sets off this rug. The color story here is very elegant and wonderful. Gail hooked this at the Kinderhook Rug Camp in Kinderhook, New York.

Judy Mueller, also of Rochester, Minnesota, hooked the rug on the far right. Both of these Minnesota gals were in a workshop I taught in Rochester. Judy's background is also super. Notice the wonderful plaids and tweeds in her background. Thanks to the Rochester ladies for a very nice time.

Pineapple Rahall.jpg (101877 bytes) Pineapple hills.jpg (99792 bytes) Pineapple Jan P.jpg (166895 bytes) pineapple Crystal.jpg (150578 bytes) Pineapple comes in three sizes 18 X 35, 23 X 45, and 30 X 58.

The taupe pineapple and gold leaves are super.

Barbara Hill, Ligonier, Pennsylvania, hooked the second Pineapple. Very unusual colors and just a super rug. The use of the reds warms up this rug. 

Jan Pierce, Nisswa, Minnesota, hooked the third Pineapple. A GREAT background and pineapple. I also love the way she did her border. Super rug and colors.

The fourth Pineapple above was hooked by Crystal Brown of Washington, Pennsylvania. The movement in Crystal's background is very neat. The softness of the leaves actually highlights the pineapple and the border. Crystal has a very fun color sense.

pineapple CookieSoisson.jpg (103127 bytes) pineapplesmall NadaLind.jpg (101854 bytes) pineapple JeanneBellemore.jpg (144780 bytes) Pineapple, comes in three sizes 18 X 35, 23 X 45, and 30 X 58,  hooked by Cookie Soisson of Ligonier, Pennsylvania.

I do love this barn. The rug on the left was hooked by Mary Shearman, Westfield, New York. She hooked a super sky and I like her brown and white cow. This barn is at the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont. Thanks Mary and thanks to Anne Bossinot who was her teacher.

The rug in the middle was hooked by Carole Virag of Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Her rug is a delightful rendition of Warren's art. Note the directional hooking on the barn. It adds to the feeling or appearance of being round. Several shades of red were used to make the barn look somewhat aged.

The rug on the right was hooked by Sherry Sayles of Elkhart, Indiana. Her trees are a red and green plaid which gives the great look of fall leaves on the trees. Her sky and barn are terrific.

Rufus Sales.jpg (73376 bytes) Rufus carstens.jpg (84320 bytes) rufus BonnieWalz.jpg (158841 bytes) Rufus, 28 x 28 and 22 x 22. The rug on the left was hooked by Sherry Sayles, Elkhart, Indiana. This is one super rooster. Sherry did a GREAT job with the border. It just picks up the character of Rufus and makes him even more outstanding. Thanks, Sherry.

Kendall Carstens, of Rochester, Minnesota, hooked the second Rufus. Kendall had a GREAT time with Rufus. She was in my class in Rochester. Kendall brought a lot of her wool with her. She really wanted to use a "sort of busy textured background." We were able to do that by hooking a similar wool that was quiet around Rufus first and then hooking her wonderful textured background. This rug is lots of fun.

The third Rufus above was hooked by Bonnie Walz. Bonnie's Rufus is wonderful, cheery and very sure of his "stuff."  A great fun rug.

rufus.jpg (3823 bytes) sun&crow.jpg (10051 bytes) Both of these rugs were hooked by Diane Denmead. Left, Rufus, 22 x 22. This pattern is available in two sizes, the large one is 28 x 28. Diane does have a white rooster named Rufus with a purple comb. He is a fine and bossy fellow. Right, Sunflower and Crows, 29 x 23 looks absolutely wonderful with the braiding around the outside of the rug. Many of the old rugs had braiding.

What a fun dog he is and the background is wonderful. The Sampson on the left was hooked by Sharron Nelson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She hooked it while attending the Woolley Fox Primitive Workshop in April. Emma Lou Lais was her teacher. I think they both did Sampson proud. Thanks.

Kate Scurlock, Cookeville, Tennessee, hooked the rug on the right. She is the VERY proud owner of a basset named Sealy Dee. The red backgrounds are super. We highlighted the wonderful dog with a lighter and brighter red. The halo makes Sealy Dee more special and makes this a very fun rug.

The third Sampson, 20 X 31 above was hooked by Linda Lewis, Eighty Four, Pennsylvania. Linda's "Baby" is wonderful. Don't you love the markings? Her border is just perfect. Thanks, Linda.

The fourth Sampson, 20 X 31 hooked by Julie Thornton of Shelby, Ohio, is lots of fun.  I love the name WAGS in the background.  Julie's dark blue's in the backgrounds are super.  Bring Wags right to the front.

Sleight ride 06 05 04.jpg (71855 bytes) Sleigh Ride, 23 x 18, hooked by Carole Virag of Ligonier, Pennsylvania, and one of my regular hookers! This is a super small rug that is sure to bring cheer for any season. Carole's snowy sky is neat and I think the hat is fun.

Spring's Here Cookie.jpg (100247 bytes) Spring's Here Ough.jpg (46592 bytes) springshere WendyCross.jpg (165257 bytes) Spring's Here, 29 x 23. The rug on the left has a very different color combination than the rug on the right. The sky is a great background for the flowers and the birdhouse. Cookie Soisson, Ligonier, Pennsylvania, hooked a double row of color between the background and the border. This sets off the "frame" of the border which makes this more interesting.

The second rug was hooked by Mary Ough, of Dallas, Texas. (I do have a GREAT time in Texas!) Another nifty Warren Kimble birdhouse, and I love Warren's clouds. Her posies say Spring with their lively wools.

The third Spring's Here was hooked by Wendy Cross.

The third was hooked by Cyndy Landman, LaGrangeville, New York. The red background brings a magical feeling to her Sunflower and Crows. This is a neat graphic rug.

The quietness of the body sets the stage for the color play with the wing and tail feathers. The border (which is a plaid) continues the fun. Just a super rug.

Lee Anderson, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, hooked the second Turkey Turkey. Again, note the quiet wool for the body and the play of color in the feathers. I also like her "bright" grasses. This keeps the balance of color with the feathers Lee hooked this at the Woolley Fox during a mini workshop. Thanks to Warren Kimble for this magnificent bird.

The third Turkey Turkey is a wonderful fun design hooked by Mercedes Hnizdo, New Hope, New Jersey. Mercedes hooked this one with me in Kinderhook. We both love the chest of this wonderful bird and the tip of the feathers.

TwobyTwoBennett.jpg (169638 bytes) Two By Two, 26 x 62, one of my favorite images by Warren Kimble. This rug was hooked by Betty Bennett of Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Her sky is wonderful and Warren's simple clouds are just right. The giraffes were a challenge. She outlined them with her sky wool and then filled in the shapes with the giraffe colors.

Two Plus One D Olson.jpg (114711 bytes) Dea Olson, Topeka, Kansas, hooked this Two Plus One, 30 x 42.  Her sky color is a real Warren Kimble sky. I love her flags and the whimsy of the direction they are waving. A fun "school days" rug.

Up on the Rooftop Bussom.jpg (24415 bytes) Up on the Rooftop, 27 x 20. Santa is ready for the "drop," now if he just will fit! Hooked by Jane Bussom of Thomasville, Georgia. I love the "brick" wool that Jane used and also the flakes of snow. This makes the rug dance.

Warrens Flags Petersen.jpg (79331 bytes) Warren's Flags, 29 x 36, so hooray for the red, white and blue and Sondra Petersen of Unadilla, Nebraska, too. Warren is very much a "flag" person and this rug is big fun. Sondra used yarn for the heads of the wheat which created a fuzzy look. Great idea.

Welcome Lind.jpg (47113 bytes) welcome SherrySayles.jpg (86470 bytes) welcome DebbieRegan.jpg (63562 bytes) Welcome, 25 x 12, hooked by Nada Lind, Shepherdstown, West Virginia. I love this tall thin pineapple. A perfect "welcome" in any home. Simple, fun and happy.

The second Welcome was hooked by Sherry Sayles of Elkhart, Indiana. Just a small treasure with a smile.

The third Welcome, 25 X 12 was hooked by Debbie Regan of McMurray, Pennsylvania. Debbie's soft greens are reds are great.

This is a wonderful primitive sheep. Easy to hook and an instant antique rug. This rug is available in four sizes: small, medium and large, plus the mat. Barb introduced the mat during Sauder Village Rug School in Ohio. I hooked the rug on the left and had a great time playing with the border. Note the stars, hooked from a great striped wool. They all look the same, yet are different. Fun to do. 

The rug second from the left was hooked by Janet Essman, Lincoln, Nebraska. She is a student of Soni Cassell. The "posey" is not in the pattern; however, it sure is a nice addition.

The rug third from the left was hooked by Shirley Mills, Greensburg, Pennsylvania. This is her first rug and I love her black sheep. It is great to see all of the different colorations.

Leslie Gorbey, Quarryville, Pennsylvania, hooked the fourth Woolley Sheep. Leslie started this at one of the Woolley Fox mini workshops. She ended up hooking it for a Hospice Auction which was for the memory of both her mother-in-law and father-in-law. Hospice cared for both of them. This is a great story of real life, but to know that her husband bought the rug back for her is just super. Hook for the love of it and hook from your heart. That truly is what this wonderful "work from our hands" is all about. Thank you, Leslie, not only for a great rug, but a truly wonderful heart.

Keith Ewing, New Alexandra, Pennsylvania, hooked the fifth Woolley Sheep. This is Keith's first rug! Kudos to Keith. The hit 'n' miss border is wonderful.

Woolley Sheep Nancy E.jpg (134869 bytes) woolley sheep pino.jpg (137733 bytes) woolleysheep annette.jpg (166273 bytes) woolleysheep Marsha Moyer-Payne.jpg (218540 bytes) woolleysheep JillCarnell.jpg (144130 bytes) Woolley Sheep hooked by Nancy Etter, St. Louis, Missouri, on the left. A wonderful, happy rug. I have always loved red backgrounds behind off-white sheep. Nancy's border is fun and playful and keeps the feeling of a happy rug.

Jo Ann Pino of Stuyvesant, New York, hooked the second Woolley Sheep. This is the mat size 16 x 21. Jo Ann hooked this in Kinderhook as part of the "Woolley Winter Sheep Class." Lots of fun and all of the rugs were different. I love the snow on the ground.

Annette Allessio, Fairmont, West Virginia, hooked the third Woolley Sheep above. Each and every color story here is neat. Actually a fun scrap rug also. I do love Warren's animals.

Marsha Moyer-Payne, a wonderful New Jersey hooker, made the fourth Woolley Sheep. The quietness of the rug is very peaceful. Just right.

Jill Carnell of Indianapolis, Indiana, hooked the fifth Woolley Sheep. Don't you just love the spot of color she used in the border? Just sets the whole rug off. Great neutral rug.

woolleysheep JoyceSinger.jpg (170195 bytes) woolleysheepWesleeHursh.jpg (154015 bytes) woolleysheeplg PatDonoho.jpg (167000 bytes)  Joyce Singer of Erie, Pennsylvania, hooked this Woolley Sheep, which comes in four sizes: the mat, small, medium and large. Joyce's ground and border are super. The movement is just perfect and the colors dance around the rug. Thanks Joyce.

The second Woolley Sheep was hooked by Weslee Hursh of Brownsville, Pennsylvania. I always love black sheep! The grass is big fun as is the border.

The third Woolley Sheep (large, 26 x 35) was hooked by Pat Donoho of Upperco, Maryland.  Super neat night sky.  The stars "sparkle".

clipperBSmith.jpg (19874 bytes) yankeeclipper SusanHarris.jpg (175649 bytes) Yankee Clipper, 26 x 34, hooked by Bonnie Smith of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Bonnie did a wonderful rendition of this. I love the way she white-capped the water, and carried the ship color out to the border.

The second Yankee Clipper, 26 X 34 was hooked by Susan Harris of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. Susan's teal sky and purple water are wonderful. Soft, fun and great.

Yankee Doodle Doo Robinson.jpg (46758 bytes) yankeedoodledoo-Kay-Strohl.jpg (137260 bytes) Yankee Doodle Doo, 23 x 26, and he is a dandy too. Hooked by Sandy Robinson, London, Kentucky, at the Woolley Fox. Sandy says "he looks very proud, a real statesman." I do love this pattern and the way Sandy hooked him. Thanks Sandy, he is big fun.

The second Yankee Doodle Doo was hooked by Kay Strohl, Nicholasville, Kentucky. Another great and fun patriotic rug. He is one proud boy!
