NOT MUCH TIME FOR HOOK'N (edited)

Fewer loops have been pulled this week since I've been busy drawing patterns.  This is even after drawing two Domestic Zoo patterns.  Dancing Rabbits design has regained popularity again so drew a couple of those for folks.  Here is a version hooked by Nancy Kilrain when I hosted the hook-along last year.
edit:   I'd completely forgotten that I also drew Blue Bowl of Flowers and was reminded when Lauren said she was in a class with Lora for whom I drew the pattern.  The is the version I hooked.
O
ne person ordered two big rugs, one named Rainbow Petals (on my web site) and hooked by Diane Klamik;
and another pattern I've not drawn before.  I believe it is a Canadian rug and have even written to Rug Hooking Museum of Nova Scotia to see if they could provide me any information.  So far no response.  If any of my readers know anything about this design please let me know.  
This pattern I titled "Flower Girl" and hope to have a photo on my web site this summer after it is hooked.
And lastly, one for me, it is also a biggie for me at 32 x 35.  Nope, not gonna unveil it yet you'll just have to chew on it a while longer, lol.
Hope all is well with everyone and happy hooking.

MISC. CHIT CHAT

It's December already?  How is it possible for time to pass us by so fast?  The clock is ticking too fast for my liking.  Tonight's post will highlight some rugs hooked by other folks. 

Most recently Margaret shared her finished rug of an antique adaptation I named Maine Garden, since she lives in Maine.  She chose the dimensions of approx. 24 x 36 and while the design is too dainty for me to hook it was her favorite.  She said it was hooked using #5 and #7 strips.  Ya done good Margaret and it is a beauty!
Her friend Diane (who happens to be McGowan teacher) decided to hook a primitive design I drew for her.  It is also an antique adaptation which I named Rainbow Petals and measures 24 x 36.  
But take a look at this magnificent Frost Eagle Diane recently finished.  It is gorgeous ~ the feathers are wonderful and just look at the eye and you can even see the detail of the tongue.  Diane said she hooked the eagle in #5 but the stripes were hooked in #8 ~ all textures were used in this rug.
And that's not all Diane hooked...take a look at this Yankee Peddler design hooked in #3 and #5 cuts.
Last but definitely not least is Nancy's recently finished work on my Mache' Jack-O-lantern design.  WOW, looks perfect!!!  Nancy you did a great job replicating my colors, we must have the same wool in our stash.
Maine Garden, Rainbow Petals, Double Eagles, Mache' Jacks and other patterns are available on my web site by clicking on the link under  my name.   Just hover over the picture to see size and price and if you tap on the picture it will enlarge so you can see a full view of the design.
