DETERMINATION RULED

I thought I could, I thought I could.  In other words, I didn't succumb to the temptation of putting Crossed Flags aside to start Magdalena's Double Horses early.  It was steamed today and might start binding today during The Five; maybe.

Here are the other two sections already completed ~ The Golden Eagle from the center of the antique triptych rug.  

The Eagle resides on the wall in the office along with art prints and Naval documents associated with my step-father CWO E.C. Patterson.  Once Crossed Flags is steamed and bound I'll need to rearrange the wall to include one or both of the other two rugs.  

The third and right side of the original antique, The Shield, presently lives on top of the cabinet to the left where the flags are placed.

Here is a photo of the hooked but not bound Crossed Flags.

And although I've posted this numerous times before, here is the original antique Patriotic Triptych rug.

Am thinking that although I'm still very patriotic, me thinks my hooking of patriotic rugs may be done for this year.  But I've learned to never say "never".  Hope each of my hand crafty friends have enjoyed what they have been working on.
