Since I ran out of Christmas/winter rugs I've hooked am substituting with Polly Minick's hooked pieces. Some of you may not know that I drew patterns for Polly to hook as well as patterns for students when she had workshops. These are her designs, a red Stocking.
The Santa pattern below is in one of Polly's books titled "The Americana Collection".
She also hooked one in different colors and had it made into a pillow.
A hooked Christmas tree.
Another Christmas Tree inside a boat.
Merry Christmas Red Sleigh before steaming, binding and on a frame.
As Polly had great clients in Florida, Nantucket and elsewhere she did another hooked rug with a Sailboat and tree. As you can see she loved ticking as her binding.
This Candy Canes photo is blurry but wanted to show you the other designs she hooked.

Sad she has quit hooking and teaching as she provided me with plenty of pocket change to feed my hooking habit. I have loads of other photos of her work but not all is Christmas related. Hope she still feels fulfilled since giving up rug hooking. Polly has authored several books and all of them have patterns which can be enlarged or full size pattern pieces. Hope you enjoyed her show.
