Yellow Bird is finally done. I mean completely done!!! She was one of my most challenging rugs and without Kris Miller's guidance, I never could have hooked that darn face. I hooked it all . . . except for the lips 😁. The background is much more subtle in person.
I don't think I shared the wool used for her skirt. It is amazing what a good plaid can do. It's a real workhorse.
My labels aren't fancy like Saundra's, but I will call it good. They print off white and I coffee stain them after sewing them.
Today we finally had temps above freezing. Rising temperatures are most welcome. Have I ever mentioned I HATE winter? (Only about a hundred times, I suppose.)
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Oh, so it was already bound when posted on FB? How unobservant of me. Never would have thought that was the wool used in the skirt because I didn't see the wine colored red in the skirt at all.
Good temps here too and should have worked outside cleaning up around the tree which toppled but I didn't. Hopefully tomorrow.
I too am in the I hate winter club. She turned out great. It is a great plaid. You do such a good job of making your rugs look so primitive. Even those wonky squares in the border.
I normally like winter ( retired, don’t HAVE to be anywhere) but this winter has been just too cold. I love Yellow Bird. Your hooking is beautiful. Congrats!
This rug is absolutely STUNNING GT!! (And holy cats on having it bound and labeled so quickly to boot!). We have warmed up too...YAY! Mid-30's. It won't last but happy while it's here. ~Robin~
YAY on having it fully finished. It is amazing and I would not have thought that plaid wool was that skirt. Just a great choice on that and all of the colors you chose for this rug. KUDOS and on to the next. I am so sick of Winter too. Janice
Great job on the rug!! Love it!
Yellow Bird is a Beauty !! That plaid is amazing ....incredible how great it hooks ! Finally our ice pack has melted a lot today ! I might even be able to get out and walk again !!! This winter was brutal with the freezing cold and the intense winds ....I am really ready for Spring !!!
Fabulous finish! It is amazing to see what that green plaid wool can do! I love the way you hooked it into the skirt.
I'm very impressed with your fancy label and your rug is wonderful.
Yellow Bird is a beautiful.
Sorry, I've been missing in action and haven't visited any blogs lately.
Everyday I get new challenges.
The days are warming up and day light is getting longer. Spring is knocking at my door.
Take care, hugs.

You did fantastic hooking on her face. She's just all around special.
