The UFO Pile Is Getting Smaller or Is It....

 
Hot off the frame is the chairpad I started yesterday.  It's a pattern by The Red Saltbox call 1822 Fraktur Round.  I didn't hook in the 1822 but it would look great if someone wanted too.
Now to get it steamed and bound.  I go through cycles of hooking, punching, sewing, and binding.  It works for me....at times I wish I was like all the gals that start something and complete it before going on to something else.   Oh well....
 

 
I started this rug last June at the Star of Texas Rug camp while taking a class from Kris Miller of Spruce Ridge.   I found my background wool and cut out some wooley strips and have it on the frame once again and this time I'll finish the hooking.  I have 2 more large rugs started and I plan on finishing them before too long.  The one above is called "Bewitched" and it has some fun techniques used in it.   I'm off to see what I can accomplish before I call it a night!
 
Happy Trails....Ginger

Love your chair pad. Can't believe you completed it in one day.

Ginger,
I hooked that Wendy Miller chairpad, too, but I finished it almost square instead of round. It sure took me a lot longer than two days! You are an amazingly fast hooker!
