FINALLY HOOKED

Here it is Lauren, it's now done.  As you were shocked it hadn't been finished earlier thought I'd better get to work.  And Robin, just for you I've eliminated a step in the wool whipping by not doing the first stage running stitch to hold the roll.  Hope I have made your day girls, 😊.

Kimm joined in the challenge and completed hers way ahead of me.  You can see hers by clicking on her name.

Although binding Double Eagles still remains incomplete, I was anxious to get started on this one.  It seemed a wool yarn whipped edge suited this piece better than cotton binding I'm doing on Double Eagles.
Here is the original Lucinda Ward quilt block from the Reconciliation Quilt.  You will notice I took a few creative liberties ~ a sky colored background, fall leaves not green, extended the ground all the way across the bottom and reduced the height of the hump below the horse.
Someone else ordered a rug pattern and don't have linen large enough to draw that one either.  Yesterday I called Dorr (again) and told them I'd placed an order over two weeks ago.  Was again told linen was on backorder so I inquired where I was on that list.  She put  me on hold to find that list but the gal who takes the orders and keeps that list won't be back until Monday.  She left a message for her to call me.   I've done business with Dorr for years and don't want to change vendors now. 

Rainy Sunday and good day to bind and hook.  I won't, however, watch football just to see the commercials.  Will just wait until after today when they become part of the regular tv advertisements.

WOMAN ON HORSEBACK

Didn't accomplish nearly as much on this as I'd hoped and won't accomplish more on it tonight or tomorrow; will explain further down.  Since Kimm (Sheep Underfeet) drew her pattern out before me she has probably gone gangbusters on hers.  I'll let her post accomplishments on her blog first and then will borrow steal her photo and post it on mine as well.  But Kimm gets first dibs on her progress.
As previously mentioned I drew mine out 18 x 18.5.  I used narrow cut worms for the face and #8 plus #8.5 for the blouse, cat and tree.  Decided to keep those color filled baggies of worms right where they were because they've been handy using for this piece.

This evening I want to start binding of Double Eagle rug since my DIL has an endoscopy tomorrow and will want something to keep me occupied.  It's a win win because I hate waiting and hate binding.  

As all my readers/followers know, I draw rug patterns and will draw whatever size you choose on which ever block floats your boat.  
Happy hooking.
