This past weekend I drew “SNOW” on backing, but I am not hooking it just yet. I am not sure of the figure placement in the rug yet. I may do something different with it. I found a couple other rugs designs on backing that I am going to hook first…or at least try.
One is called “Lost Soul” and is a political statement about the state of our nation’s schools. It has been a controversial rug from the start. When I first showed the design to a rug hooking teacher her response was consternation. On the other hand, I received lots of encouragement from the people on Rug Hooking Daily, an online rug hooking community. So, after letting this sit for well over five years, I am pulling it out and working on it. It is a large rug for me, and so will probably take a while to finish. It is on rug warp as well. I have never hooked on rug warp before. I do not know if it will take a #6 wide strip or not. We’ll see how it goes.
Another piece I pulled out of my Treasure Trunk in the sunroom was the design for a laptop bag. I am wanting to finish that as well, for my own personal use.
Meanwhile, there is the SNOW rug, and I want to put “Goldfish” on backing too. Lots to do, so little time… 🙂
Just received my colorful and generous prize from you for celebrating your 100th day of blogging! Thank you so much. Posted the picture of it on RHD.
Thanks for the photo Jane. I am going to try and post it here, if you don’t mind. 🙂
