Moving right along...

I snapped this pic late last night before pushing the frame aside...I plan to pull a few more loops this evening after the dishes are done. It's always a treat when the design actually comes together like it was in my head! My sketch and watercolor study pleased me...but you never really know how the wools will play together...
More soon ~L

One last look...

I snapped this pic just before I finished binding the edge...it is done now.
All that is left is to finish sewing on the label and the casings for rods on the back as my client will be hanging Old Chalk Deer. This sweet face will be heading to North Carolina tomorrow!

Many thanks for all the comments as I posted the progress of this rug!!!

Next up is to get busy with Grandma's Garden...my 2012 offering for the LJF Annual Rug Project...I'll be back with pics soon...and hope you will follow along as the rug progresses. There are a few kits still available if you'd like to join the fun...click on the banner down over on the left side for more information...or give me a holler...

Rug Hooking in Lake Wobegon...

...I've always been a PHC fan...perhaps it is a Minnesota thing?
I attended a few shows in the early days...then was quite the groupy in the mid-80's catching weekly shows at the World Theatre and hanging with the crew and cast...fun times...fun memories...but life moves on...
In the past few years I've taken my son to a few shows at the State Fair and the Fitz...and we are faithful listeners each week on MPR.
Thru all these years...I never knew there were other rug hookers in Lake Wobegon!
Enjoy ~L
