My third rug start for the month of October was Triple Crown Winner Pearl and Earl by Lucille Festa of American Country Rugs. Started in a class with Kris Miller, the rug measures 20" x 34". I was hoping to have more hooked before sharing. Wasn't meant to be but I'm happy with the results so far :)
I've three rugs in progress which is not something I normally do. For me to be working on even two rugs is unusual and I will be starting one more very soon. One last Christmas gift needs to be hooked. Can you believe Thanksgiving is in 2 1/2 weeks? I love that it is early ~ more time to get ready for Christmas since I do not start any decorating until after turkey day.
Today's weather in northern Ohio is the best it has been in several weeks. I've gotten a few outside chores done and need to do a few more. Got my lawn mowed, too. So much easier to mulch the leaves rather than rake them. That darn yard guy never shows up . . . sigh. Maybe in my next life :)
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

I love this rug already and your colors are always so well chosen. I'm still not in a hooking mood. I had a day from hell today so I'm just getting settled at my computer. My little pizza is ready for supper and it's 9:00pm.
ReplyDeleteI have no yard work done at all this fall and It's been raining and raining. Finally, the rain has stopped and then a huge wind came all night and we were without power since last night until around 4:00pm today.

3 rugs. Good for you! Love the colors you chose for this one. Temps here have been unusually mild for this tie of year. Janice
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on this rug they are very pretty. Good luck on pulling loops.

There is just something special with a red horse. Think I’ve only hooked one red horse butI see another in my future. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful rug and beautiful wools.
ReplyDeleteI wait till after the holiday too, and since we host dinner, I like to keep the fall things out.

I hope you share your progress as you go on your rugs. I love seeing what you are doing.
ReplyDeletePearl and Earl is hooking along nicely! Love those flowers in the trees! We let the leaves "decorate" the yard for a month or so....then rake once. I'd love to be able to mulch them into the grass....but, hubby won't let me. I keep telling him "free fertilizer", but, he insists on bagging them..... ah well...
ReplyDeleteGreat looking rug you are working on.
ReplyDeleteWe had a lovely weekend, but now straight rain. It's bringing down all the beautiful leaves.

going back to the Halloween post - that little puggie girl is soooo adorable! I bet she was the star of the porch crowd that night. Your rug you showed looks great ! hope you get all your hooking done, I was hoping for another finish (hooking ) this year but I'm doubting that is going to happen. Also - loved seeing your Halloween vignettes and your samplers back there on the wall. Yes turkey day in a little over 2 weeks - we're going out ! YAY! Mel
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I like to see the texture and outline before background is in. Yes it was finally nice today and Jason showed up. Nicer yet!
ReplyDeleteLove the new start -- it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren, love that rug! Such a great design...Hugs Francine.
ReplyDeleteLauren, did you know you're famous? My daughter & I took a rug hooking class at the NY Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. I asked if anyone has seen the rugs by Lauren Fuqua on her site Rugs and Pugs. The teacher knew you and everyone was writing down your website & others already knew you!!
