[Eileen Scrivani]

Is the loom for the flower class called "The Bloom Loom?"  Is it a round 
loom with inner & outer ridges of pegs?  If so I think I might have one in 
the house.  I bought one a few years back because like you say they are 
inexpensive, but I could not get it going.  I think the one I have was 
made/manufactured by "Wrights" or "Rights" Company.   If I do have one, then 
I'll sign up for the class, but I don't want to go out and buy another 
crafty type of item just now.  Thanks for the info.

Eileen
