Un-finishes

Rebecca from The Simple Quiet calls them un-finishes.  I like that my pieces finally have a name.  This evening I will share my hooked un-finishes with you.  When I finally finish them, I will have to go back to my old posts to find when they were completed so that I can add the date to the label.

A Wendy Miller pattern, 1822 Fraktur Tulip Chairpad, purchased at Sauder Village in 2011.  I chose not to hook it as a round chairpad.  The finished size is 15" x 16 3/4".  This was taken without a flash.  The background is several shades of dark blue.  Sorry it's a little blurry and still a little too bright.

Henny Penny, a Barbara Carroll pattern.  This is the smaller version and the finished size is 15" x 20 1/2".

Berk's County Bouquet.  Another Barbara Carroll pattern started in a class at the ATHA Biennial in October 2011.  Even taken without a flash, the background is showing up much too washed out.  It is hooked with several shades of black.  The finished size is 17" x 20".

Dog and Cat, an antique adaptation.  I started this last April at Susan Feller's Retreat in the Mountains in West Virginia.  It is 16 1/2" x 25 1/2".

Finally, here's Pup, finished just recently.  It's a Magdalena Briner adaptation.  It's a belated Christmas gift and is 12" x 20 1/2".  I really MUST get the binding done on this one.

Tin Rooster, a Star Rug Company pattern started last weekend at Sauder Village.  If all goes well, this will soon become another un-finish.  I just realized I used the same wool for the rooster that I used for the chicken in Henny Penny.

I really hope that you do a better job than I do at finishing projects.  In another post, I will show my cross stitch un-finishes.  There are MANY, some from decades ago.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

JRT hugs :)
