This was my inspiration. I just really like the simplicity of the pattern.
Then Lauren of Rugs and Pugs blog sent me this picture from a rug showing at her local guild. I fell even more in love with this pattern.
Oh yeah, love it. Love those primitive colors and wonky shapes. When I drew my pattern out I made the diamond shapes near perfect. But I really like the irregularity of the ones in the above picture.
So here's where I'm at .
I think that's why I've stalled out on the hooking. I am not like Saundra, I do not have a second project going when I stall out on the first one. But I do have an idea for my next rug.
I've also been quilting. I put the binding on the two green quilts and I'm working on the binding for the Sun Burst girl version. It's girly because its got some bright pinks in it. On the back I used a white and pink Parisian print. These are all for donation. I have two more that are quilted and just need binding, a boy version of Sun Burst and a multicolored 64 patch. I've got one more top pieced, it's a purple version of the June pattern. This one still needs a backing and to be quilted.
My sweet, sweet Henry.
I've also been working at cleaning my sewing room. The trouble with that is I keep finding unfinished projects and go down that rabbit hole. There's so many patterns I want to make. There's so much fabric I need to use up. There's so many rugs to be hooked.
I also attended this year's final regional Academic Challenge tournament. This is Lexi's second year to be on the team. They placed third. She is so intelligent. I'm so proud of her. She's already taking college classes.
And that's all for this week. Have a safe and jolly weekend. Sue
Great accomplishment on your rug. You may not have a second hooking project going on but you have a 'plus one' with your quilting. Smart young lady you raised there. Congratulations and wishing her a very successful future.
ReplyDeleteYAY for Lexi! Congrats to her. I also love your rug and think the blue may be a bit bright. I know whatever you choose will be a good one. Janice
ReplyDeleteThe trouble with cleaning the sewing room is that it never stays that way!!!
ReplyDeleteRug is looking good and I look forward to the finish and finding out what is next.
Your donation quilts are always so pretty. How kind and generous of you.
Congrats to pug-mocking Lexi (gee, I wonder why...lol!) and her team. What a beautiful, smart young lady.
Forgot to mention Henry's cuteness!!!
