Granny's Old Blue Vase-copyright sunnie andress 2005
Thoughts on a Monday morning.
A beautiful Vermont Spring morning here in the Northeast Kingdom. We are especially thankful for the warmer temperatures, having had a very cold, wet and stormy Spring!
I am in the process of sorting and rearranging my rug hooking studio. It is a peaceful pastime although I am anxious to return to my hooking. However, I am finding wools I had forgotten I owned which is, in itself, a delight. I am working on two rugs at the moment, both are inspired by and/or adapted from old Frakturs and Samplers. I do original work for the most part but use motifs from antique sources, blending them together in my own way. My work is almost always whimsical and colourful...and I work in wide-cut -numbers 5,6 and 8 cut- wool strips.

Although my rug themes are not grand or political or precise geometrics, I enjoy painting with wool small pictures of our rural life, the designs of past folk artists and the joys of home and family relationships.
I was able to hang the clothes outside to dry for the first time this year...and the songs of the birds seemed a little sweeter this morning as they, too, enjoyed the sunshine.
