As promised, here are a couple of rugs from our Heirloom Rug Workshop. Of course, they are only partially completed, but the ladies all got a lot done is only 3 days.
On top is Erin Schulz' tulip rug, a design from The Sampling. Erin tore and cut strips and her rug looks marvelously old.
Jeanette O'Brien hooked this Maggie Bonanomi design. She also tore and cut strips. Her flowers and flags are terrific and the bronze urn may be my favorite part of all.
These experienced rug hookers really embraced
the idea of making rugs that look 100 years old, a task that is really harder than you may think!
I will show you their projects again when they are completed.
In the meantime, remember Donna Hrkman will be here November 13,14,15 for a retreat weekend. Contact me if you are interested. I have a few spots left with this fantastic teacher. Hook a face or primitive rug, she can tackle it all.

That first rug is on my (very) long hooking bucket list.
ReplyDeleteErin is doing a fantastic job. I LOVE it.
Hugs :)
