I've still haven't decided on my next rug pattern yet, but Dahlia is all hooked. Last evening I started binding it since there's no new pattern on my frame and needed/wanted something to work on. Talk about hooking down to the wire. Hate when that happens.
Today my task will be to decide on and enlarge a pattern for my frame. I sorta think I've made up my mind and here are a few which are being auditioned. The blue birds I posted previously. This antique floral below was on my 'to hook list' several years ago. Guess I didn't draw it because the top part of the rug was not visible. And will be a pain, not impossible tho, to just duplicate what's on the bottom on top of the design. Big dog little house is very interesting with the tiny critters above and side of the house and hooking the background would certainly not be boring.
Of course this year, the 250th anniversary of America, the design below would be apropos. But haven't decided if I'd follow this same color plan or change it up a bit. Red, white and blue are our colors. And last, a blast from the past I'd almost forgotten about, horse drawn sleigh. So I've dusted it off and put it in the file as a potential project. Guess I'd better get off'n this contraption and made a decision as I can't go another evening without a rug on my frame. Which means I've still a mess to clean up around the hooking spot before that can happen.

Hope you decide soon. I know which one I would hook. I do also love the house and dog one. Janice
ReplyDeleteDahlia is so SO pretty. I really like the symmetry of it and the colors you chose.
ReplyDeleteWow ...these are all really nice !!!! It would be hard to choose ! Good Luck !!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finish!
ReplyDeleteSo what did you decide?
Oh oh oh, pick me pick me (in my best Arnold Horshack voice). At first I was stuck on the blue birds until you showed the sleigh. I love that, especially how it’s a silhouette but not stark black. Great choices all around.

Oh that dahlia is gorgeous. I like all the contenders and see why it's hard to decide.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job on that dahlia and fast too! Can't wait to see what you choose.

Playing (badly) a game of catchup since being gone and OCD requires that I start from where I left off so I assume you’ve decided by now. (If not, I’ll call for a welfare check as I know something’s seriously wrong.). Some really good contenders but I think the sleigh and horse is a complete standout. And your Kaleidoscope Dahlia turned out AMAZINGLY!!!!!! WOO HOO!!
