One more heart rug I forgot to show on my last post. An antique adaptation hooked 8 years ago. Wow, as I always say, time sure is flying. This is in the upstairs bathroom in front of the vanity. It was color planned in a class, but I am not wild about how it came out. To the left you can see my lovely pink tile 😛 I am hoping to have the room remodeled this year, but haven't yet figured out what I want to do.
The eagle mat is finished except for the label. It was bound by folding the linen forward and whipping with wool. I find it very tedious and hard on the fingers to get the wool worms through the linen. Plus to get good coverage, I ended up with a very curly edge. (The color in this picture is more accurate than the next one.)
Thankfully a good steaming worked miracles!!!

Your eagle is wonderful you finished in record time. I like the pink tile.

The reason I don't do chair pads is the finishing. I think they are the hardest to finish. Yours looks wonderful though.
I LOVE this GT!!! I've not heard of finishing like that with actual wool worms but what an awesome effect.
