Started a new piece this weekend; calling it Fox Trot. It is drawn on white primitive linen...I didn't bother to serge the edges since it's a small piece. I rounded off the top corners to soften the look. So far I used Chestnut brown for the tree, variegated #3 for the leaves. and variegated #8 for the moon. I outlined the leaves with dark green yarn from my stash.

We now have over a dozen selections of Variegated fat quarters for you to choose from. And definitely more to come! These are exquisite one of a kind pieces with a multitude of colors on both sides. I love using these for rug hooking!

Here's a house blessing I hooked up with some left over wool from the PEACE DOVE. I made quillies circles for the flowers. I added a same bird and a bead from my collection. Please feel free to print a copy of the pattern.

I finished my PEACE DOVE. I backed it with a piece of mill dyed wool...a pretty blue herringbone and whipped stitched the edges with 6-ply embroidery floss. I have this design available as a hand drawn pattern on linen, a paper pater and a digital downloadable file.

I've been working on a new rug hooking project this past week. It's an adaption of a punched embroidery pattern of mine. On this one I'm using wool strips in a #6 cut and wool yarn, some sati ribbon...lots of texturing going on.

I decided to rework the flowers with a bluer pink, mauve. Now I just need to bind it. I was thinking about making it into a pillow with a shaggy trim made from strips of wool. (I was inspired by an old piece of Hungarian pottery.)

I've started working on the border using Cinnamon and some strips of After Midnight for highlights. After I'm done with this part of the hooking I may tweak the colors of the flowers.

Started a new hooking project yesterday. The design is based on a Hungarian piece of vintage pottery. The dark color is a deep blue called After Midnight.  The other piece is a new Variegated wool, which is multi-colored in greens and gold. Love it! It is perfect for leaves. It's still dark here in the Pacific Northwest so the picture looks darker than it really is. I will post more pictures once I progress more.

Over the last couple months I've been busy with rug hooking. It had been some time since I have and I have been enjoying every minute!

Here are my completed projects:

In Mr Turkey I used yard, ribbon and wool strips.

 

 

Above, TULIPS, done in the tradition way; all wool. For both pieces I used a #8 cut.

Both are available as patterns in our shop.
