Antique Sampler and Rugs

all images from Pinterest

not normally a red person
this sampler keeps calling to me


wonderful colors in this one
so very scrappy


this is one I'd like to recreate
if I ever feel like hooking again

taking a break from sewing room work today
didn't even wash the curtains as I'd planned

however
I added a backing and signed a hooked chairpad
finished stitching on the wool backing strips on one rug
starting on another
and 
cut out some wool applique shapes

progress vs procrastination

You are having a great, productive day. Me, more of the napping in your header.

I'm already thinking ahead for my next rug and plan (for now) to have a geometric using worms in a sorta hit and miss.

Uh clean?#*! Did some wash, changed sheets and finally vacuumed again today....oh even dusted a room. Then my back started to hurt so stopped. Seemed line a good enough reason for me.
