RUG LABELS and MORE

Just printed out a sheet of labels for a few rugs hooked in 2025, the rug just hooked but not quite bound and the rug I'm working on now.  Friend Lauren (Rugs and Pugs) prints out her labels one at a time.  But I'm so afraid of wasting the fabric backed printer paper that I do the whole sheet at a time even if some rugs have been hooked for months.
Although I've previously posted instructions on how I make them, there are always new people visiting my blog (uh, I think and hope, lol) so if you want to  find out how I make the labels click HERE.

Sheila has completed the hooking part of her Hearts Hook-Along and just has the binding to do.  Yup, 'tis true.   She decided to 'cut corners' and make the shape of hers a little different from the others' who participated, while staying true to it's design.  I like it and she should be proud to have hers a bit of an 'original'.    Thanks for joining Sheila.
Now  to my bad news.....unfortunately this area is under a 'blizzard warning'.  Latest report says perhaps 8-14" of that white stuff.  So much  for the 'global warming'. 
Am hoping the weather model they used for the amount of snow is wrong.  So it is gonna be a 'wait and see' kind of sh*t show.  But this is the report just in at 7:10 p.m. Saturday night.

But I've plenty to keep me occupied inside ~ I can hook, sew labels on rugs, or continue binding Shadow Sleigh Ride.   Wishing you a happy weekend and very little snowfall.

  1. One of these days I am going to try making labels like yours.
    I set word to two columns and print at least two labels, one or more in each column. I cut the fabric, then I can feed the paper through the printer again when I am doing more labels.
    Sheila’s rug looks great!

  4. Yikes on the snow. We had some overnight that covered the grass once again. More to come, but not as much as you are expected. Good idea to stay inside and do want you want. Janice

  5. Thanks for sharing your label info I love them! Since I’m a new hooker of only one year I will get my labels made up for about 5 projects I’ve done.
