During my homework pre hook-along for this subject I searched lots of on-line places hoping to find some hooked representation of the historic quilt. Of course there is the pattern which is offered by Woolley Fox titled Lucinda's Quilt. This one below was hooked by Joyce Rickenbach
Today I also luckily found better section photos of the quilt which might make copying easier.
Here is part of the rats nest I spoke of which unfortunately didn't get cleaned up today but I did get the pattern drawn on linen. So tonight I'll pull a few more loops and show you where I am on the 'forever floral' tomorrow. BTW, you couldn't see the pile of loose worms on the sofa arm to the left nor the worms on the tv tray to the left but here is rather a contained rats nest.
Gee, it's a little past wine o'clock!!!!! Happy hooking everyone. 🍷

You do great research!
ReplyDeleteJoyce is a terrific hooker. Love her little mats.
Not yet sure if I will play along...sigh.
Look forward to seeing all of your latest hooking work! Janice
ReplyDeleteLike Lauren mentioned, you are a terrific researcher. It's a time consuming job and you do it very well. I'm looking forward to seeing this new rug challenge.
ReplyDeleteI see no mess in your neat storage plastic bags filled with wool worms. But everyone knows that worms never sit still. They move when you're not looking.
I'll wait until your next post.
Hugs, Julia
Wow!,!!great research!,,!
ReplyDeleteI love all the bags of worms,,,,So much inspiration,,,,,and great to use them up,,,,though I know we never do!!!!
I learn so much by reading your posts. I have really loved those rugs for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI have a few designs I really like ! I have to make a decision ! Thank you for the enlarged pictures !
ReplyDeleteI wish I had lots & lots of worms like you ! I only cut my wool as I go , so I don't end up with lots of worms . When my Mother hooked , she cut up all her wool & then started to hook ! I can't wait that long & tend to choose colors as I go !
That hooked version of the quilt in your first photo is quite impressive. And I think you have an incredibly neat rats´nest. ~Robin~ (TheCrankyCrow)
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this post. Wow, those are some good hooked pieces from Joyce. Inspiring . And I noticed she kept her backgrounds creamy and light. I’m debating that
ReplyDeleteThe “Massa Ise Free” rug is hooked By Glenna Bailey. The pattern is an original design, from Black Sheep Wool Designs. The smaller rugs, hooked by Joyce, are from Black Sheep Wool Designs, also.
