I am referring to the binding pile. On one hand, it is a good thing because it means I am getting things done. On the other . . . UGH!
Ole Jack. I have not even started the prep to bind this big 'un.
Lots of sunflowers to finish.
And FINALLY ~ The Poser is hooked. I am happy at the way it turned out but Cathy Stephan of Red Barn Rugs gets all the credit. I started this in a class with her last June. It was her excellent guidance and color plan. I had hesitated starting the flowers. She told me I was not allowed to leave class until one was started 😁. Great advice.
Ernestine had a birthday ~ #10. She is looking good but her face/chin sure are getting grey. Thankfully she is in excellent health.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Love both your finishes. Is that you in the top picture crying? What happened? The two children look terrified.
ReplyDeleteHa ha...love the Easter bunny pic.... Back in the good ol' days the costumes were so realistic and scary....right up my alley LOL. I can't believe you haven't bound Ol' Jack yet and have him up and displayed. Shame. (Says me who has hid the Beast so I can conveniently forget about finishing him....) The Poser came out fantastically!! You do Cathy so pround. Love those little sunflowers to pieces!! Yes, you've been busy. Me? Not so much...hence why no "updates" in that regard on my blog. 😬 Happy, happy, birthday Sweet Ernestine!! ~et~
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Ernestine! So glad you were forced to hook a flower before leaving. The rug looks fantastic! Janice
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Ernestine. I had no idea she was that old already. It's a blessing she's in good health.
ReplyDeleteYour poser is looking so good and so are your other rugs and sunflowers. You have a lot of binding to do.
I hooked a little on my Madonna Rug but I just can't sit there very long. I'm inching my way through it. I don't like how it looks so far and will have to reverse hook some more.
Take care
Hugs, Julia
Its always so nice to see all of your hard work. Those rugs are lovely. Happy Birthday to Earnestine!! I really like that horse rug too. I love it when you show all of the work of your hands. Your own private rug show. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful rugs and I am sure you will be happy when you bind them. I use yarn binding, so find it relaxing, but I know I need to learn how to do it with a binding tape on the back.

That Easter photo is a classic! Far more interesting than the expected (forced?) smiling faces usually seen.
ReplyDeleteYour rugs are very pretty, bummer they aren't finished as they'd be even better then. Not dinging your dislike of finishing them! I should apply the words "finished is better than perfect" to the quilt I've been avoiding quilting for months now. It's intimidating me for some reason.
Happy birthday to Ernestine!
Poser turned out wonderful! Will save a photo in my 'inspirations' file. So what are you getting Ernestine for her birthday??
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Ernestine !!! Your Poser came out so beautiful ! All your rugs are so pretty . One of these days they will all be bound !!! That Easter picture is priceless !!! Love it ! Hard to believe next weekend is Easter !!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Lauren. I'm not sure since my memory is so bad, but how many methods are there to finish edges other than a visible binding? Or aren't there?
ReplyDeletewhen I see all that work I am amazed at how much you get done!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to Ernistine !
Cathy
Happy Birthday to Ernestine 🎂 You have a lot to bind, but not nearly as much as me. I have some great big ones ahead of me😵💫 But right now my flowerbeds are calling.
