My goal was to finish my Antique Hearts adaptation by mid August. Yesterday, the 15th, it was done!!! I didn't think it was going to happen. I reverse hooked about a half dozen of the "tongues" because after seeing them hooked, realized that the color placement was too close to another tongue with the same color(s). The center of the tongue on the top left was hooked with a very dark teal, but it just read as dark and looked too much like the background.
Here she is hooked, but not yet steamed, a task that ranks right up there with binding 😝
I love the way teacher Jenny had me hook the background around the hearts. I never would have thought to do that. Thankfully she drew in all the directions for me.
Can you see that tiny bit of red in the center of the heart? When I was not at my frame, Sue added that. Just a little reminder of our class that will remain there.
Can you believe August is half over??? Where on earth is time going? We have gotten rain every few days for the last couple of weeks. My grass is green and growing. I can't remember the last time I didn't have brown crunchy grass in August. I need to mow more often, but no complaints from me.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

You're like The Little Engine That Could... congrats on a determined finish and well done. Ahhhh, the little speck of red reminds me of the time Kris Miller hooked a couple little spots in a rug I was doing in her class. They are still there as a reminder to me of that class and of Kris. Fond memories.
