Nov 2024: I am having difficulty editing and posting the videos. For the time being, the videos will be posted with up to 30 minutes of non-lesson at the beginning. They will be edited and reposted as soon as we can.
2024 includes some more upgrades. I plan on having more regular “special classes.” Special Classes in the past have been, How to hook a pine tree, Queen Anne Rose Stair Riser, How to hook a pin and Faces, which is extending into 2024. Members could attend these classes Live! but the replays were available only to those who bought the course at a huge discount.
The courses will still be offered at a huge discount and will include written content as well as PDF downloads, but the replays will be available here for all members in the Office Hours Replays.
- 1st Tuesday: Q & A – Ask me anything
- 3rd Tuesday: Gen’l RH Lesson
- 5th Tuesday: Dyeing and Color Planning (4x per year) – In addition to members of The Rug Hooking Journey, members of VDC and PCP are also invited. See the link on the Dashboard.
