It's Been Fun....But..... (edited)

...I'm ready to move on.  Think Stars and Diamonds was started sometime in June and have loved every second working on it until just about now.  Am ready to move on to my next challenge and it (they?) will be smaller.  Here is my beauty now and it is close to finish.
If you are interested in having this pattern measuring 21 x 43 on natural primitive linen let me know.  The edges will be serged and there will be at least a 3" margin all around.  Cost will be $75 (plus shipping) despite all the drawing that is involved.  

 I could have finished the rug before now but remember it is summer  and I'm the one who cuts grass in this acreage.

 Just think.....that little bit on the right side.... so close but seems so far away 😒.

 Have a great evening.

        This comment just in but since she is a No-reply blogger I could not reply to her.  Instead, I would like to thank Michelle H for her very complimentary message to me:  
"I have been hooking for over 20 years and very few rugs blow my mind. This rug stopped me in my tracks. I know of the original and I have to say your rug has done it justice. Your adaptations of the original rugs that we all love are the best I have ever seen. Great job"

    Sometimes you have to step away and do something else for a bit.

      "double ditto" :) Can't agree more with Michelle H. & Kelley ~ I've loved watching this rug evolve (it has magnetic charm) for some reason & your colors truly have done it justice! Thinking I may just need this one (but there are SO many of your adaptations I'd love Saundra) and not enough hours in my day or crazy "wool business life" to get to all of my current projects (ugh)! Will just "dream for now" and think more on it ~♥~ Diane (Wool-N-Wares)

    this one is simply amazing Saundra! sometimes you push on and finish the hooking and sometimes you put it aside and hook another...I used to have two frames going at once but since I bought my Talon I won't hook on anything else...looking forward to seeing what comes next on your frame...
