HEARTY PROGRESS

Even with Lauren's frantic busy schedule of late, she managed to find time for this Heart update. 

Having the border hooked in gives this a whole new fresh appearance and looks perfectly color coordinated.  I'm not so sure it needs that walnut bath she spoke of previously.  Seeing hers makes me wish I'd used darker wool for the outlines.

After my rug was hooked I reverse hooked a couple places.  Not sure if you will notice any difference but this is what it looks like now.

Below is the before.  

My rug looks anemic compared to Lauren's.  Oh well, no time to worry about that now I've still one to finish and one to draw.

HEART HOOKING UPDATE

It's no surprise to me that Margaret Zenk has her rug all hooked and bound already.  

Sue Swank's design is coming along nicely too.  Not sure how big her rug is but the chickens have nice detail so must be a sizeable rug.

Sheila Kennedy has made great progress too, happy to see her keeping those hands exercising pulling loops. 

And she confirmed that she did dye the wool for the hearts.

I have also finished hooking my rug.  Since this photo it has been steamed and ready for binding.  Hmm, but I see a couple strips of wool I'd like to replace already.  Should have inspected it closely before the photo and steaming.

That's it for this show.  Gonna get colder by Thursday I hear.  Now it's time for me to go outside and cover my tomato plant, just in case.
