Time Flies ~



I can't believe I got home from camp a week ago.  Time does fly.
 
My class with Kris Miller from Spruce Ridge Studios was excellent.  I took limited wool with me since I was flying, but she used most of it in my rug.  Here is my progress so far.  All I have left to hook are the diamonds and the mindless background which I enjoy doing.


 I hooked in a bit of paisley throughout the rug.



Kris is excellent with color planning.  Here are some of the rugs that were being worked on in the class.  Lots of talent in our group.
 











 
Saturday I took a class with Rebekah L. Smith.  Here is my progress so far.  I am determined to work on it a bit each day and actually finish one of her patterns!  I positioned the motif on the lower right a bit too low, but I figure if I don't tell, no one will know :)  I am not about to change it.
 
 
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

Hi Lauren , so sorry I missed commenting on some of your posts.

I love the color balance in that rug you're hooking and that applique is just adorable. Great stitching....

PS, I'll try to catch up on reading your blog.

Love the colors in your hooked piece, so guess you chose just perfectly. Also think your applique piece is wonderful. That Stone House runner is very stunning every time I see a photo posted anywhere but I'd feel too intimidated to hook it myself.
