This beautiful rug is a design by Polly Minick and can be found in her book titled "The Spirit of Sacagawea".
This is the cover of the book in which there are two rug designs that may be enlarged for rug hooking and there are numerous quilt blocks by her sister Laurie, also suitable as hooking projects. You can order you book HERE.
I am presently drawing out that pattern for someone as I am the authorized agent for Polly to draw her designs. Polly no longer does kits but if you are interested in a pattern on linen, contact POLLY and she will in turn advise me of the order and give you my e-mail.
Polly just had a showing of her rugs and a demonstration in a Ralph Lauren Showroom. If you live in the Naples, Florida area perhaps you were lucky enough to enjoy her presentation. If not, here is Polly and Laurie's BLOG and you can enjoy the show now.
Have a great evening everyone.

Yup, you read right.... I happen to have an extra so am giving away the Patriotic Checkers Pattern. It is a full size paper pattern that measures 22 x 22.
If you are a newbie hooker and think the Shields and crossed Flags would be too much of a challenge for you, how about drawing the stars all the way around instead. Or just plain border.
These are the requirements:
The winner must be a FOLLOWER, shipping to US only (sorry guys in Canada and elsewhere), and most importantly I must be able to reply to your comment. In other words, if you are a 'no-reply' blogger you will not be eligible.
Leave me a comment saying you want to enter the giveaway for Polly's pattern and I'll draw a name Saturday. This way it will give working folks a chance to enter if they only relax and read blogs on Friday evening or Saturday mornings.
Alrighty then.....now how to FIX or FIND OUT if you are one of those unfortunate "No-Reply Bloggers". Thanks to a blogger friend, I was informed there was a way how to find out IF someone is a no reply and if so, how to fix it.
If you were reading my blog during the last giveaway debacle, a sweet person who was hoping to win the giveaway, was sure she wasn't the ill-fated no reply blogger, but found out later she was. So if you want to find out if you are or how to fix the "no-reply blogger" situation click HERE.
I hope lots of you will check it out even if you are fairly sure there's no problem. I'd really like for everyone to have a chance to win as this won't be my last giveaway. Just maximize your chance to win by my being able to reply to you.
Have a great evening everyone, I'm hoping to accomplish a little more hooking on my Chicken Challenge and maybe even hook a block on the geometric next time I post.
Ta Ta.
