Misc. Chat Chat (EDITED)

Filled up my vehicle two days ago and the gas price had increased to $3.09, and that is the cheapest gas in town.  Drove by there on the way to my doctor visit and the same store is now at $3.17 per gallon and the others nearby were $3.26.  Cannot image how much it is going to cost when I get my in ground propane tank filled.  Maybe I should call now to see if there is an additional charge if I'm at the 50% capacity as it will be cheaper now than in a month or so I'm sure.

This morning I changed out my rugs and put two on the kitchen wall.  Photo is a little dark, sorry.  Wish Kris Miller had an opportunity to see Oh Glorious Day after it was finished but was anxious to finally put it on the wall after showing it at Cape May.  The Karen Kahle design (Simple Gifts) to the left was hooked with Barb Carroll back in 2016.

Another angle and I totally forgot to take a before photo which had a framed print of a sheep and a primitive doll on each side.

EDITED PART:  Friend Jennie of GA emailed me and sent me an edited version of the photo above so she could see the rugs better.  Don't know what she did as the editing but here is a more clear photo.  It's time for me to hit the sack and I'll find out tomorrow what she did.  THANKS Jennie.

Decided to put the Horses and Hearts rug at the entrance to the kitchen from the living room.

A few weeks ago I had a dermatology appointment and had no rug to bind and was bored to tears.  So this morning I picked out the wool for binding and took a photo to see if the color was compatible.  It was and I got some whipping done while there.  Guess there is something good about not having all the rugs bound immediately.

Now I'll happily work on my horse antique adaptation.  Happy hooking.

HEARTS, HORSES, and CATS, OH MY

With the emphasis more on hearts as I just finished those two blue hearts in front.  Thought I needed some blue to go with the Cat's Meow antique adaptation.  They are stuffed with snippets and lavender, ooh they smell good.

And the addition of those hearts would also enhance the look of Horses and Hearts, which is a design by Marion Ham.  The pattern was provided as a free to draw design in the American Folk Art Crafts book.  The pattern in the book has more than 6 horses but whoever drew it did the condensed version which I purchased at a great price during a sale at Cape May rug camp.

The horse rug is on my table now and must admit I like it better now than after I  finished hooking it.  At the time I was sick of hooking all those horses and hearts so put it away and this is the first time I've unrolled and displayed it since.

Here is the book the pattern is featured in.

Happy Sunday and happy hooking,

Saundra

Did ya Miss Me????

Have wondered if I'd be missed if I stopped blogging as so many others have done.  Before leaving for Cape May though I'd not be able to post photos on my blog from camp did a pre-saved post and planned to hit send from camp.  Turned out I couldn't remember my password and Google wouldn't send.  Thus, no posts until now.  But this is what I'd saved............

If you are reading this blog I am already at Cape May but saved this post before leaving home.  Reason is most times Blogger will NOT let me or anyone post photos on iPad.  So Google, there's more than one way to skin the cat!!!!

On Wednesday there will be a rug show open to the public at the Chalfonte Hotel and these are the rugs I'm taking to show.

Star Geometric (above), an antique adaptation drawn by me, designer unknown.  

Lititz Hens, an antique adaptation drawn by me and the designer was Magdalena Briner Eby.

Above is Early Farm Scene an antique adaptation drawn by Frontier Homestead and designer unknown.

I thoroughly enjoyed every loop pulled on the Great Granddaughter's Rug above.  It was drawn by me and designed by Magdalena Briner Eby.  Below is a photo of the great granddaughter of Magdalena and the great granddaughter's son, who recently donated the prized possession.

Below is a rug drawn by me using the wording from the War Advertising Council of 1944 to conserve resources.  Always thought it was a phrase from struggling farmers and mostly used by quilters and rug hookers.  I'd be totally wrong when doing a search on the phrase.

An adorable winter piece from the design of Kelley Belfast and drawn by me is Welcome Snowman.

Also hooked in 2019 but not in the show is Cat Nap, which has already been presented to a friend.  It is also a design by Kelley Belfast and drawn by me.

OH!!!!!  Don't want to forget Patriotic Pumpkins but that piece is busy gracing my harvest table at the moment.

However,  I'd forgotten to take Horses and Hearts so it stayed home.  Guess I can take it for next year's show at Cape May.

Will do another blog post tomorrow.  I'm BAACK.
