Challenge Rug ~

 

I am participating in the "Out of Hand Rug Hookers Hook-a-Long and Challenge" on Facebook.  (WHEW!  That's a mouthful.)  We were given maybe 15 motifs to choose from to design a rug at least 18" x 28".  You could use as few or as many as you wished.

 

Magdalena Briner was my inspiration.  Here's my design before transferring to my linen backing.

 

 

I think my rooster came out pretty good :)

 

Bobbie was able to identify this wool as Milk and Honey by Heavens to Betsy.  I love the way it hooked up.  The color in the bottom picture is the true color.

 

 

Progress so far.  I was going to put an LF in the left corner.  I wanted it to blend in, but I think I need to hook more around it to see if it is going to work.  I also need to tweak my fat-headed mouse.  I think I need to move his hind "legs" further back.  He looks like he is on wheels . . . lol.

So far, this is fun.  I may not get any of my Christmas gifts made . . . sigh . . . but there's always next year, right?

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
