Shady Spot was started at Cedar Lakes Rug Camp early in May with Jyl Robbins. A pattern by LJ Fibers, it is an adaptation of an antique needlework purse. I thought I would have it done LOOOONG ago. Then I was sure I would finish it (or at least be close) at the two day Shipshewana hook in at the end of July. And now . . . the hooking is finally done. (And Sue . . . I did not change the color of the googly eyes.) As usual, color is all wrong 😓 She is a biggie for me at 26" x 36". Next? The dreaded binding!!! Next on the frame? Perhaps just a small piece if I find a spare minute before my Kris Miller class next week.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Seems to me the antique purse eyes were white and I think your rug is lovely. Just love me a blotchy background!!!!!! Believe me I feel your pain about binding. Think I'd rather have a dental appointment than bind a rug. Oh, wait...I usually work on rug binding at doctor appointments to ease the pain, lol. Pain of binding of course.
ReplyDeleteLauren, your rug looks great, and I think the googely eyes adds charm and character.

Love the colors and those googly eyes are just too adorable. They make me smile each time I see them. Janice
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hooking. It's a wonderful rug!!
ReplyDeleteLauren, I love, love, love how you hooked Shady Spot! And love the eyes too! For my original offering of this pattern I used colors like the antique needlework wallet...but your choices and the background are stunning! ~Laurie/LJFibers
