The 2 Chicks are Kristine Hastings and Jeri Alcoset.
We met over 25 years ago while working at a local bank. Times and events have changed, but we haven't aged a bit. Our interest in crafts have always been a passion. We hope that you enjoy our penny rug designs.
2 Chicks Design has always loved Create & Decorate Magazine and now we have been featured again in one of their issues. Our Happy Hollydays Table Runner is featured in their Holiday 2011 issue. If you missed it please check out their website and order a back issue, you can't go wrong as their magazines are full of great ideas and article. Here's their website: http://www.createanddecorate.com/issues/2011/holiday/
2 Chicks Design at the Mill End Store
Several times a year the Mill End Store invites 2 Chicks Design into their stores for a showing of our patterns and a teaching workshop. Our most recent event was Saturday October 2, 2010 at both of the Mill End Stores. 2 Chicks Design is always glad to mention the Mill End Stores in both Portland and Beaverton. Their web site is http://millendstore.com/index.html.
National Nonwolvens
2 Chicks Design loves to use WoolFelt from National Nonwolvens. At the Spring Quilt Market a 2 Chick Design penny rug was featured in the National Nonwolven booth. You can see our design in the middle of the back wall (it's the one with the stars).
The "2 Chicks" dye their wool fabric in Jeri's backyard. This fabric is used in our personal penny rugs that we make. We also sell custom dyed wool fabric.
The "2 Chicks" just can't get enough of backyard wool dying.
