THE FINISH...

Hi Prim Pals! What are each of you doing on this snowy morning? We have the day off today, but I'm getting ready to cut out lots of dolls, rabbits and more. I plan on sewing all evening and then again tomorrow. Besides filling the shop, we need to get LOTS ready to take to the Breckenridge Show on March 30th.
As most of you know, our own Suzanne teaches rug hooking at the shop every Wednesday afternoon and I haven't been able to participate much since before the holidays. Dick was such a sweetie, he "manned" the shop a couple weeks ago so I could go on a great rug hookers field trip to Kris Miller's studio. I bought this pattern, did a few changes on it and got it all hooked! I can't believe it! This is so addicting and I can't wait to do another one. After I get it steamed and bound, I plan on hanging it from an old tobacco stick over the PRIMITIVE red fireplace that Dick has built. Are any of you going to the rug hooking show at the Washtenaw County Fairgrounds in Ann Arbor in April? I can't wait!!!!!!!! Well friends, better get sewing while I still have some day left. Hope you're out there doing something creative on this Monday of Valentine's week. Until next time...

    It's beautiful! Love the details in the corners. I was going for something similar on my punched rug, but didn't quite get there, lol.

    Great job on the rug and you completed it quickly. I will be at the hook in with Bobbie (the Evening Stitcher) and my local partner in hooking crimes Melissa.
    Hugs :)

    I've done about 5 rugs so far and have one in the works. I just have trouble finding the time to work on it. I know of only one place close to me that does rug hooking, but they use really tiny strips of wool. Maybe 1/4 inch wide. I would love to find someone that does what you have shown. It is fun isn't it!
