A Reprieve From my Hooked Rugs

There were more rugs and smaller mats hooked during this year and all have been bound.  But thought I'd give you a break to show the other pattern I drew.  You saw the small Sunflower Mat and want to finish it so will concentrate on it the next couple days.  

Finally decided to hook a design I named Lisa's Horse since she is the one who asked me to draw it for her.  As previously stated, at first I was gung-ho to hook it too but after struggling to draw a straight pattern from a photo taken at an angle just wasn't ready.

This will be the pattern I work on before Bev gets to me at camp so am taking a critical look to see if I want to change values anywhere.  After all, the antique is rather faded so the key will be value change.

Not so sure I like the background between the hind leg and tail.  Or perhaps a very thin dark line behind the back leg to separate would do the job.
How about that...a short, sweet and to the point blog post 😁.  

Today was an abnormally hot and humid day and will be the same tomorrow.  Thank goodness got the grass cut and can concentrate on getting ready for camp.  Just 5 days and a wake up before I head to Cape May.  Won't start packing the suitcase until Thursday or Friday after checking a 10-day weather report for Cape May.

Happy hooking and hope all of you at Cape May this week are having a terrific time.  Hope someone will post photos of Wednesday's rug show on Facebook or send them to me.

  2. I was here before but got interrupted before I could leave a comment. Someone needed my help.
    That's a good start on your horse. I'm looking forward at seeing its progress. I would leave the tweaking of the horse rear-end for the end.

    Before you know it, you'll be on your way to Cape May and I can see the big grin as you lock the door behind you for your rug hooking adventure. I hope the weather cooperate for your trip.
    Hugs, Julia

  3. Small world. That is the rug I will be starting next week in Cathy Stephan's class. My class doesn't start until Monday, so I still have 5+ days to pack...lol!

  4. I love, love, LOVE Cathy's rendition of the rug...especially after seeing it in person. I'd love to say I want to do it, but it is far too ambitious for me at this point. Heck...pulling one loop is pretty dang ambitious. Pleasant dreams of your soon-to-be get-away. ~Robin~

  6. Pulling any loops is a struggle right now. Have been under the weather a bit. Will enjoy seeing how you hook this background. Janice
