This is going back to a 2009 class with Gail Dufresne. In advance of the class I told her to please pull me out of my comfort zone ~ you all know what that is by now. That would be dark earthy colors and antique adaptations.
I was very uncomfortable using bright colors and that color scheme wasn't anywhere in my home in 2009. So with input and ideas from Gail and the group I drew and hooked this rug which I named The Great Escape.
Since this wouldn't fit anywhere in my home it was sold at an Artisans show one year.
Here is a picture of Gail Dufresne, me in the middle and Gail's sister Yvonne Wood.
Gail is an excellent and patient teacher who gives her 'peeps' her all, Yvonne also an excellent hooker. One important thing I learned in the class is stay true to yourself and hook what makes you happy. Try tho I may to hook colors outside my crayola box, it is awkward and not as much fun.
Regarding the previous comment about bright colors being nowhere in my home, there is this rug which I hooked 2014 and is in front of my garden bathtub.
Now that the crispy grass weeds have had a drink of water a day or so ago it is time to cut it once again.
