HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Are any of you lucky enough to remember cards such as these that we, as kids, would hand out in school classrooms?  What an innocent and cherished time that was.

I enjoyed seeing Kim's (My Field of Dreams) hooked hearts and thought I'd post some of mine.  I've posted them before I'm sure, but here they are again.  

An antique adaptation pattern I purchased from Barb Carroll named Olde Hearts.

The rug below I named The Cat's Meow.  The original antique was hard to decipher as the picture of the rug was dark and displayed on the wall of a log cabin home.

Another antique adaptation and the original had odd blocks of color hooked in the background.

Horses and Hearts rug recently replaced another on the floor.  It is a Marion Hamm pattern in an American Country Crafts book.

This next one will be a familiar sight to sweet Robin.  Hope she got hers finished to display this year.  And if not, there's always next year.

Westmoreland Ponies is a Barb Carroll design and was a free to hook pattern in a previous issue of Rug Hooking Magazine.  I'd forgotten about the freebie thing and ended up buying the pattern from her.

Last but not least is the one most recently finished hearts during the Heart Hook-along.  Sadly I chose to hook mine with a faded appearance and it looks rather anemic to me now.  Sure wish I'd chosen darker outlines like Lauren (Rugs and Pugs) did.

Happy Valentine's Day to all.
