mentor. She instructs beginner drawing lessons right down to the

| Linda Ferretti has been
extremely helpful in my bid to learn more about certain methods of
dyeing wool, and other rug hooking skills. I have found her prices to be reasonable for
wool, burlap and other rug hooking supplies.

A Needle Pulling Thread Magazine
| A Canadian magazine that features
Canadian fibre artisans!
The editor, Carla Canonico, told me at the Victoria Sewing
Show, in March 2006 where I met Carla,
that she wanted to feature me in her magazine. I designed a rug
hooking pattern specifically for the magazine, and it is featured in
the Spring 2007 issue of A Needle Pulling Thread. I feel most
privileged to be chosen for this honour. Thank you, Carla!
