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

Oh your woolie creations are looking wonderful! I think you may be getting some snow today? At least that's what the weatherman says... got to fill up that pond!
Beautiful, what a sweet pumkin rug, love it, Happy Hooking Francine.
Love the chair pad! I admire your stick-to-it-ism...wish I had more of it and could get some of these ufo's finished!

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!
Hugs :)
