An Antique Inspired Rug



I'm working on a number of rugs. Today I'll share the progress on this antique inspired rug. An American Prim Gathering group is working on this rug as a bit of a challenge. Two days of on and off hooking and this is what I have accomplished.

I've also been whipping on a few small mats....seems it takes me awhile to get that part done.

Sniff...Sniff....been battling a head cold and a sore throat. Very rare I have a cold. Maybe a chocolate chip cookie will help :)

Well back to the binding!

Happy Trails.....Ginger

I LOVE the colors you chose to hook this rug! It's looking so wonderful! I got the pattern enlarged today and still "overthinking" my plan of attack! LOL!! You are inspiring me to get in on linen!!
Hope those cookies help the sniffles.... rest up!!
Hugs!

I love that rug! I bought the pattern a while back but of course it is still in the closet. That's a lot of hooking in just 2 days off and on. I wish I could hook that fast.
I've also been fighting a cold or something so have a cookie for me, too.
Hugs :)

I love the rustic colors in that rug and can't wait to see the finished product. Headcolds are the worst! Sure hope you get to feeling better quickly.

LOVE this one Ginger!! I have a think for antique rugs and their adaptations....(been working on "Welcome Cats" for half of forever now - although the term "working" is being used very loosely....) The colors are gorgeous....and I spy your initials??? Too cool!!! Hope you're feeling better....I'll have a few cookies for you too... ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
