A Fresh Start


 Here's the story on this rug...

I hadn't felt like hooking in ages
oh, I could do one here or there for an animal shelter auction
then even that became too exhausting

yes, the depression had sunk into my bones
I went to work
came home and looked at the walls
repeat nearly endlessly

then my formerly hooker now quilter
friend Jacque offered up a rug/wool to me
for the price of shipping
she had started it
 knew she didn't want to finish
don't even ask the size
but it's a large rug

it wasn't my style or colors
yet how could I resist

she basically had the center star and a small part
of the background completed
I went way off the rails
according to the drawn pattern
but boy did I have fun

I hooked and hooked
falling in love with hooking again
will I finish it or will I cannibalize the wool
and use the linen for a different rug
time will tell
