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 

Gameboards Again

this one is especially inspiring

with the houses, trees and cats...

 



 still hard at work on Mom's quilt

once that's off to be quilted

I might have to pick up the hook...
