This is the rug hooked in class with Eric Sandberg last month. It isn't all that big so would like to have it done within a month after starting it. Doubt that will happen since grass needs to be cut sometime this weekend and I've a lunch/shopping date with my sweet grandson on Saturday.
On this rug I plan to whip with wool yarn. Am often asked how I bind my rugs and the answer is always..."depends on what I feel it needs". This one needs that extra black edge.
Really like the dark hit and miss border, except it appears the left side has more dark than light values. Think I'll pull out some lights at the bottom for sure, and a few on the top as well and switch to darker. Guess I had tunnel vision working in small areas at a time and didn't take it off the frame to check enough. This design is by Cactus Needle and sold by Nola Heidbreder.
Am about halfway done binding 1909 Horse and waiting patiently on the sidelines for a finish.
Enjoy this warm weather....it felt like summer yesterday and today. Did we miss spring?

Am referring to the question I was asked on border plans for Flower Power. Here it is in beginning stage with not so much accomplished except for the 'plan'.
It is a primitive black border hooking a short span across the 1 1/2" border. Thankfully there was enough margin beyond the rug design to draw that much border.
I've never hooked a hit and miss primitive black border in this direction but think it will be a really cool look.
Today I walked a number of steps (again) dragging more tree limbs into the woods. This is what my yard looks like now. It is looking better after the storm damage done March 2nd.
It will be delightful to have my clothes line back and my fence. The 'good ol guys' removed the lines and the poles so as to not do damage to them.
Tomorrow, weather permitting, the guys will bring two log splitters and haul some or most, away. Then not too long after that my back yard will have some semblance of order again.
Have a great evening...warmer weather is upon us.
