My March goal was to catch up on my rug binding. I finally put the hook down last week and did some serious binding. As of today, I only have one rug left. Even though I fell short of my goal, I am absolutely thrilled at what I accomplished. I know most hookers don't like the binding process, but I rank up there with the worst of the lot :)
In March, I hooked this for a friend ~ bound, labeled AND delivered.
Tin Rooster (Star Rug Company), 1812 Tulip (Red Saltbox), and Dog and Cat (antique adaptation). I finished the hooking on 1812 Tulip last March and the antique adaptation last May!
The rugs still need a final steaming ~ and labels ~ but hopefully that will be done soon.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Pug hugs :)

All those rugs are beautiful, Lauren! Good for you that you are binding them. I have about five to do. I swear I'm going to finish them before I even start thinking of hooking another rug! Can't wait for Ann Arbor...it will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteYour rugs are just stunning and I really need to start hooking.

That has got to feel good to have them done. Always fun to have a PILE of finished work. :-) beautiful work.
ReplyDeletewow you have been productive! I love to see all your work together it is so pretty.

I agree with Cathy that it is FUN to see all your rugs gathered together. Except I didn't see Henny Penny again but can go look for her. Since I know what I'm hooking in May at Barbs and September, think Henny Penny might be my rug to hook next November when I go to the camp in Ocean City, MD.

Wonderful rugs! Its a good feeling to see our finished work.
ReplyDeleteNice little pile you've got going there. They look great. I know binding is a pain but doesn't it feel great when its done?
ReplyDeleteHip Hop Hooray!!! I bet you feel light as a feather to have that marked off your list as done! :-) They all look great!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous work! Pat yourself on the back.
ReplyDeleteTHAT feels good, huh? Now you can start a new project with a clear consciou
ReplyDeleteI love all your rugs and I can imagine how good it felt to get them almost all finished. I would equate binding a rug to binding a quilt - you want it finished, but it's a pain to do!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice and what a lot of rugs to finish. I love each design. I am pretty impressed. I think the hardest thing for me and binding is just starting. Once I finally start, it does go pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteYou got real serious there girl. I'm impressed by the pile of rugs. Now you must feel much better for having accomplish all that binding. You deserve a pat on the back. Unfortunately, my rug is still waiting to be hooked.
ReplyDeleteSomeone aught to invent a machine that simulate hand binding rug finish. Really, how many rugs are out there all hooked up with unfinished binding?...
Hugs,
