The Blue Basket


this blue basket
inspired the hooking for the Flag and Flowers rug
the colors in the rug here are true




two different filters 
to try and get the colors right




real colors are somewhere in between





two wools made up the background




another rug to keep
this went on the frame just now

Hooking some smaller rugs
to try out colors for some larger ones in my stash...

No Spend on Supplies 2019
is going great
nearing the end of the 4th month
there are a few things I want
but nothing I need


Would love to hear about what you've purchased
vicarious thrills and all that

Wow, you hooked that one up rather quickly. Guess these were in your pattern stash, eh? You can't live vicariously thru me as I haven't purchased anything rug hooking related in 2 - 3 months. But guess it was in 2019 so you have me beat.

Your wool colors are beautiful. Thanks for sharing, and showing the wool used. I can't wait to see the next one.

I have not bought anything wool related this year, but let's not discuss cotton for quilting.

Your background is two of my favorite wools.
So far in 2019 I purchased Rudie and 5-6 other patterns and more wool than I care to admit...sigh.
Great, fast finish on Cammie’s pattern.

I cleaned my rug hooking room just before Christmas and put myself on a spending freeze for the first 6 months of the new year. There is lots I would like but I have been good I have more projects than I will ever get to.

Beautiful basket...and you captured the blues and dark golds wonderfully. You hook so pretty. Well, I have been quite good at not buying much rug hooking related items as I haven’t yet located my hooking mojo.... But I confess I did purchase a hook (made from an old tool handle)...and just recently, I actually purchased a new Edyth O’Neill pattern. I have like 3 hooking projects already started, but though maybe the thought of a new one in the wings would give me a little inspirational “push.” Now, cross stitch supplies.... OYE....that is a horse of an entirely different color....I’ve purchased more linen and patterns than I even want to admit to myself..... ~Robin~
