Christmas in July ~


Crooked River Rug Hookers guild is having a Christmas in July celebration at the end of the month.  There is an optional mat swap if you wish to participate.  I hooked a design called Marshmallow by Tina Payton from the February 2008 issue of Create & Decorate magazine.  The finished size is approximately 11" x 11 1/2".


I love how this wool hooked up for the background.


I think he came out kinda cute.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

That background is really nice. Don't think I've ever hooked a background with all the same piece of wool, I usually mix mine. Maybe one day I'll give it a try tho.

He is very cute! What great background. I bet you enjoyed hooking him.
I really need to go back and look at my old issues of Create and Decorate. Have a lovely Friday.
