Am getting bored with the sunflower and made some changes but more changes might be coming. Decided to not put my initials in, won't hook the date, decided to not make it into a pillow and will probably make the lower larger leaf smaller too.
SO... my question to her was "what would you like for me to blog about". Her answer was: "what is the best tip I learned from a rug camp or teacher". I do have a couple worth mentioning but would love it if some of you might send me an email and mention your best learned tips and I'll add them to my blog when that happens.
Happy hooking.

I like how your sunflower turned out and the centre is absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteI never was at a rug camp but one of the best tip I got was to not use cheap burlap as a foundation as it will deteriorate quickly. I was told that a linen foundation would last long time.
Take care, hugs.

Love ur sunflower,,,,,
ReplyDeleteI have been to a few over the years,,,,,many tricks and suggestions for sure,,,wish I could remember a few,,!haha,,,
What julia said was great advice,,about burlap and linen,,,
Don't hook much anymore,,,but love following you,,,
Well me being a non green person, I do not like that green...but a must for these leaves, so a good choice to use this ugly wool. I was taught by a fellow rug hooker how to hook. Never went to a camp. I wont hook on burlap. It is too rough for me, but am always amazed at those wonderful older rugs that were. Janice
ReplyDeleteThat sunflower will be done tout de suite.
ReplyDeleteGeez...all the teachers I have had and I am coming up blank! I will ponder some more.
Sunflower is looking happy and lovely...even with all the "won't"s you decided on. ;-) Best advice? "Ya just never know when the uglies will work." ;-) ;-) ;-). ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteLove your Sunflower ! I have only had one class so far , her tip was to add more interest to your hooking add small bits of color here and there ....for value .
