Cats and Flag

March Hooking

 Sometimes I get a little obsessed with

a certain piece of wool or design element

This year it's the blue wool in the flag

cats continue to be my favorite hooking motif

I have some log cabins in mind

more flags

more flowers

Today another crow is on the frame

I must quit to work in the yard...

sometime

Hope you're enjoying your day

Doing what you love!

American Flag and Flowers

starting a new rug today

Cammie has the sweetest patterns

this one will be a keeper

Another Patriotic Piece

posted this yesterday

using up more red,white and blue strips

I had so many short pieces from the last 2 rugs

 

a little progress

it's about 12 x 26

so that center space isn't very big

right now I'm planning on a flag

drawn on the same piece of linen

as Little Bird, Little Star

the rug I'd planned to hook

decided my precut strips would not do it justice

after the little one is hooked

I'll separate them and set the floral aside

until I'm ready to cut more strips

*****

I have a ton of strips still ready to use

 not the colors I want to work with

challenging myself to hook 

at least one more rug

before cutting more strips...

 

 

On My Frame

as always

Pinterest images inspire my latest rug...

Patriotic Hooking

using up the strips from the stash

there might be one more 

patriotic rug in there

at least a chair pad

Talon Frame

there is a new hooking frame in my house

waiting to leave the box...

but first I need to get my house in order

that will take a few days

in between work and visiting mom

Happy Friday the 13th!

An In Between Project

I recently sent a few blocks

to a blogger collecting them for

Quilts of Valor

they were stitched pretty quickly for me

since all work is done by hand

deadlines and I don't get along

it got me thinking

about the fabric in my stash

that might never get used

mostly because I'm not a navy fan

but for Americana blocks it's a different story

slow stitching RW&B blocks

for veterans will be a breeze 

as I go through the stash

organizing by color

I've been cutting out Evening Star blocks

setting the patches in a box

to be stitched when time allows



I always like to have some mindless stitching

ready for spare minutes...

do you do that too?

seems I can't bear to just sit with idle hands
