What an encouraging thing, to see someone elses interpretation of a design of mine! Above is one of the bird motifs in my rug pattern "Expect Good Things". This was done by Debra Lloyd of Cadillac, Michigan. I love her colors!
This rug pattern is the 2nd rug I ever designed and it is definitely my best seller... It seems to hit that spot in people. The sentiment Expect Good Things means a lot to me... I have been teaching myself for years that a good attitude makes life better, no matter what is going on... It is something I actually work at. This rug was designed in 2001 - and in the past 11 years I have worked that phrase into the "fiber" of my being -- pun intended! Debra did an excellent job, to read her story of the rug click here...
-- P.S. I invite you to send photos of your finished rugs (or in progress) of the patterns I have designed... I'd love it! and it really can make my day :) ♥Brenda -- bbmarie@gmail.com

I uploaded a few pieces to my Flickr photostream. Hope you enjoy!

She also made a HUGE rug for the dining room, smaller rugs for the bedrooms and stair runners for our older house. They truly are treasures! She was a real artist. Thank you so much for your kind words! : )
