Happy Valentine's Day ~


 
This year Western Reserve Rug Hooking Guild members were asked to hook, applique, etc, this little design to be used as door prizes at our hook in.  The design measures 4 3/4" square.

 
I think this small design would be difficult to hook even in an 8 cut so I chose to do mine in wool applique and I opted to make mine round.  I've gotten two completed . . .

 
. . . and am working on one more.
 
 
I've also been pulling a few loops.  All that's left is background and I do enjoy the mindlessness of it.

 
The "girls" have a Valentine message for you.
 
Ernestine

 
Cindy Lou Who

 
I hope your day is perfect!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    Happy V-Day to you Lauren ! Hope DSO is doing something nice for you. That Cindy lou is a mess getting up on your bar and eating dog food. she's a cutie. I'm just catching up on your blog. THat is so interesting those Snowdrops will come up in the snow, I guess that's why they're snow drops! So much I don't know about other parts of the country. WOW I love your bunny girl - such an awesome gift. Pearl and Earl are looking great too. Those applique pieces almost look like old butter mold patterns. great colors too. Take care, keep warm - Mel

    Those little appliques are cute and look pretty easy to do and I love those colors you chose. I can see you're having fun with them.
    Your rug is looking lovely. Happy Valentine to you and the girls.
    The weather was just spectacular here today.
    Hugs, Julia

    I think doing your project in wool is better than hooking it. They look sweet! The girls message is a good too! Happy Valentine's Day! Janice

    I haven't done any stitching in so long I just transferred some of my stair risers and I need some dyed wool so I have to get in the dye pot.
    Happy Valentine's day

    I have been sewing with my daughter for the last 5 weeks, not a single loop has been pulled or a single quilt block made. But we got the costumes completed last night. So today I will think in terms of wool.

    Love your applique. It is so nice to see a black and white picture turned into reality.

    Hope your Valentine day was sweet.
