Sorry I did not have a chance to fix Jeni's link for you to download earlier!   Super busy day!  It is now fixed and if you scroll down on my blog or FB the link is there for each of you to click and print!  As I say that - I want to Thank Debbie Busby for offering to create a link for us!  What a swell gal!  Teamwork makes things so much easier!!!  Thanks to all of you for being patient and understanding as glitches happen! 

Trust me.. it will not spoil our hop!!!!! :)

 

Blog Hop Day 5 * Ali Strebel Designs

 

This next gal is off the charts creative!  She is Ali Strebel of Ali Strebel Designs!  Back in the day, she became know for her work with her friend, Sally thru their company "Kindred Spirits"!  I think it is fair to say that they really did open the door for us primitive designers!  They set the bar high.. with their fresh, new perspective on wool, embellishing & sharing their talent thru books, patterns & their shop.

 

Since Sally retired, Ail kept creating! {Aren't we LUCKY!}  She moved all her goods to her Cottage behind her home and offers classes & supplies for rug hookers, needle felters & fiber artists!  If you have time - you really should scroll thru her blog as she attends a lot of rug hooking shows and shares some fantastic pictures of her travels, including some beautiful hand hooked rugs!  Rug hooking really is an art and I can't think of anyone who does it better then Ali!  I see another road trip gals!  Who's in! :)

  Let's go click the link and head to her page!

For those of you who are new to the annual hop - Welcome! 

How this works... is that each day, {Dec 1-15} I will post (along with the other delightful bloggers) a link for you to click on from our blogs that will take you directly to that day's designer blog where you will read a bit about them and their favorite Holiday memory for example.  You will also receive a complimentary recipe from them that you can print off and add to you collection!  Then don't forget to download their complimentary design they designed just for this blog hop event {AND thank them in the comments!!}.  I have been in contact with each of the designers and we are all so excited to see the hop come together... and help us all get in the spirit of giving!  This is our small token of thanking each of you for supporting us designers and our passion!  

Without you... we would not be able to do what we do! 

Are you ready?  Let's get the hop going!  ENJOY!
