This is my very first posting on my very first blog. I love rug hooking and Shih Tzu. You will be able to follow all the rug hooking activities on this blog and will be able to meet my furry friends on my other blog, http://trinketshihtzu.blogspot.com. On the right is the princess who owns my heart -- Lucy. Click on Lucy and you will arrive at the Tzu blog. It is currently in the process of being built, but should be up and running very soon.
I have been hooking rugs for about 7 or so years. I began designing my own patterns 5-6 years ago. I began dyeing wool 1-1/2 years ago. I design hooked projects for Create & Decorate magazine and hope to continue well into the future.
I enjoy traveling to various hook-in events and attending camps and workshops. I'll post all of the places you may run into Among Friends under "On the Road".
I hope you all will enjoy reading about the rug adventures of Among Friends. I look forward to hearing from you.
About Me
- Among Friends Wool
- My name is Julie and I was born and raised in central Illinois. I was a legal secretary for many years and left the profession to open my first store, Trinkets & Treasures, now located at 120 N. Main, Washington, IL. I became very interested in rug hooking and from that interest, Among Friends was born. AF is now eight years old and has evolved from a rug hooking hobby to a full-blown rug hooking business. I design primitive rugs and projects which I hope you will enjoy hooking as much as I do. I began dyeing wool one year ago and love dyeing as much as designing. I have been doing projects for Create & Decorate magazine for the last 4+ years and hope to continue that relationship far into the future. I keep a booth in Trinkets full of kits, my hand-dyed wool, and patterns. Believe it or not, there is more to my life than wool. It's all the many Shih Tzu that keep me hoppping. If you look down just a little, you will see my princess, Lucy. If you click on Lucy, you will go to the doggie blog. Hope you enjoy seeing all the beautiful dogs in my breeding program and some of the cutest puppies ever.

I just started blogging last week, so we're both newbies! Can't wait to see some of your rugs - and maybe you can share some dye recipes too! So fun to rub shoulders with a famous published designer!
