Bonnie Wilcoxson, Edinburgh, IN 6-cut wool on burlap Bonnie's bunnies (pattern #700) were worked with wool from a plaid coat, and she gets some of her great colors by dyeing her recycled wool with Kool-Aid.			Kathy Cowart, Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina 24" x 34" on Monk's Cloth For "Ice Cream Castles" (pattern #103), Kathy used a #5 cut and the wool is “as is”, spot dyed and dyed. The “jewels“ were purchased at a local bead shop. The rug [a wall hanging] will be a Christmas gift for her 6-year-old granddaughter, Katie. (Kathy also added their guinea pig, Spot, and and their Black Lab, Clipper.)
Ruth Viste, Maiden Rock, WI 6-cut on burlap, 41" x 26" Ruth decided her jester (pattern # 501) was the comedian "Carrot Top" doing a Marcel Marceau impression, so she tea-dyed some white fabric for the face and developed her color combination in honor of the New Orleans Mardi Gras.			Kathy Cowart, Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina Kathy hooked Fallen Leaves on a linen ground and used primarily a 6-cut to "paint" her leaves, with stems and veins in a 4-cut.
