Finally Finished

Nope, not finished with 1909 Horse ~ finally done with Spike.  Yesterday's post showed the binding in progress but you hadn't seen the entire mat hooked.  So here it is placed on my antique school desk.

This is an antique adaptation.  It is drawn small since my friend Evelyn wanted one measuring 14 x 20.   Below is a back view with the gathered edge cotton binding.  Looks tidy don't ya think?  There are a few puckers but much nicer than seeing folds.  Eventually I think the cotton binding will soften out and puckers won't be noticed.  Besides, it will be underneath anyway.

This drizzly day I did some hooking on 1909 Horse but happily had another pattern order to do so that will ship tomorrow.  It is a smaller size (28 x 40) for this design.

Happy Sunday.
