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~
