I thought I'd share a picture of the rug I'm working on. This is a Twigs & Sprigs stitchery design called Raggedy Friends. Twigs was very sweet in allowing me to enlarge her design and work it as a rug. I love how their sweaters turned out using some beautiful plaid wools. Now I'm working on the background and doing that in the color leather brown ~ I've cut wool strips with my #9 cutter and WHEW! those are some wider strips to pull through the backing ~ oh my poor hand, lol!!!! This will measure about 25" x 23" ~ would make a great wall hanging.
I hope all are having a great week! It's been raining here in Florida ~ just the way I like it, not so hot!
Smiles & Hugs,
Marte

I think this pattern tugs at my heart. I love what you have accomplished so far! ~ Sam
I love it!!! I so wish I was as good as you, but you do make me want to get something to work on.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Bren
Marte~ I LOVE this rug!!
Thank you everyone! I'm finished with it ~ well at least the hooking part. Now I have to steam it and bind it ~ my least favorite part, lol!

You must be one fast hooker to have finished the rug. I am impressed. (Steaming and binding is my least favorite part, too.)
LOVE the picture of Madison!!!!!!!!

LOL Lauren! No I don't think I'm so fast at it but I'm like a pitbull ~ I get ahold of something and don't let go!!!!! (I think it's the OCD in me, tee hee)
Thanks, I think Madison is a cutie pie but I think ALL critters are cute in their own ways.
Love this one. Dolls are my faves.
Have a good day
