I'm sure that any professional rug hooker would shudder at the sight of this. (My apologies.) I know - it's messy, thready, and imperfect... but honestly - I love it so much! SO much in fact, that I took many 'glam shots' of it. ; )
All those printed fabrics made for some terrific color combinations! I love the earth and I love the sky.
I used cotton and flannelette strips that were 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch - all different. Seriously, I wasn't trying to be perfect. I hope I'm not insulting rug hookers. I've heard people say that they love the backs. I see why. It's pretty cool. My daughter said it's horrible and she likes the front better. She's 5 and I value her opinion.

Yum, yum, yum. Don't all those little rows remind you of corn on the cob, cornsilk & all? ; )
Happy Tuesday, and thank you all SO MUCH for all the congratulations on taking the plunge & getting juried. : )

This is lovely Monika - all of the colours and shades are amazing.
So neat! I bought a rug hooking kit quite a few years ago, but never made anything. I finally gave it to Goodwill, or sold it on Ebay... Is it hard on your hands? How are they doing, BTW? This will be a really great rug!!
My MIL rug hooks and I also adore the style and texture of it all. Really awesome to see 'your' colors and style like this! Enjoy... and wowie that looks amazing all framed up!! Yes it does! p.s. I ran yesterday. Me and two dogs.. and two miles later lead to a really peaceful evening. Now if I could only stop eating chocolate all day at work my bum would shrink a bit!
Congratulations on SO many levels. You SHOULD frame your juried membership! Excellent.
Your rug hooking is wonderful! I'm loving doing it by proxy. :) The colors are perfect.

Corn on the cob with cornsilk--Yes!
I once tried a rug hooking kit and hated how it looked. This looks beautiful to me!
I love your talent! And the love you show for it... so enjoy reading your posts!
What artistic energy you have. Do you
know that there is a Rughookers
group in Saskatoon. There is a blog
at www.saskrug.blogspot.com. If you
didn't see their show last fall,
there are photos of on it.
