There are so many "next ups" that my head is spinning 😁 Of course binding needs to be started. That will be a long, slow process at the rate I bind.
I was asked to do a little class at one of the hooking groups I belong to on how I make my sunflowers that get attached to a bedspring. That is scheduled for the beginning of April so I have been working on a little handout so people know what supplies are needed and I am hooking a few sunflowers so they can see the various steps.
Crooked River Rug Hookers, an ATHA guild, is having a hook in. Since it is always in the fall, it is dubbed Hooktoberfest, even though this year it is in September. Members are being asked to hook small mats that will be door prizes and the sooner they can be turned in, the better. I designed a little fall mat that Heidi our webmaster dubbed "Goodnight Pumpkin". You can access the free pattern here along with a few other freebies. The larger pumpkin will be hooked with hand torn strips and finished in the shape of a pumpkin.
Then that darn Saundra along with "Heavens to Betsy" Betsy is already planning the next hook-along. It is supposed to be even easier to hook than Granny and of course I have a problem saying no.
As for a larger hooking project, I hope to soon get back to The Poser, a rug I started in June with Cathy Stephan of Red Barn Rugs. I don't think I have pulled more than a dozen loops on it since then. Hopefully I have kept all the wool together and not borrowed any of it for other projects (which I have been know to do 😖).
Pug hugs 😊

You are so busy!! I do love your sunflowers. I wish I could go to that class. I know I love mine so much.
I love that rug you started. Its really pretty. I just did that, I have a project and I cannot find the wool that went with it.
Along with my knitting needles. :)
Well I always love seeing your work.
Whew, busy girl; no wonder you don't have time to hook as much as you'd like.
My sweet DIL and son were here today and she informed me she LOVED sunflowers. Her birthday is in May so for sure she will be getting sunflowers in some form or other.
Well now you are busy!!! I think I will join this hook along I felt very left out of the last one even though I said no several times lol. Crazy hooker issues!!

Hooktoberfest is a perfect name. I have one of those hooked sunflowers in purple. Love it. I should make some for the store. Yeah I heard Saundra & Betsy teamed up to do another hook along. Looking forward to see what they decided on. Janice
The class sounds fun. I got a kit with a proxy tool to make some, never got around to it.
Always love seeing what rugs you are working on, tempting me to make some.

Whoa....you're in a group that has a webmaster?? Impressive.... ~et~
WOW, you're keeping yourself busy. Teaching rug hooking starts with an invitation and will probably blossom into something beautiful like a sunflower. That's how my teaching ceramic started, by an invitation, and then it took over my life, lol... just saying...
Looking forward to following the girls as they tackle the next Saundra and Betty hook along. I'll join the look-along group to cheer you on.
Take care, stay well.
HUgs,
