Crows It Is

I did start another rug a few days ago

patriotic border

no plans for the rest of it...

now I need something for the middle

this Magdalena rug caught my eye

crows it is

*****

vacation day one

recovery from working the past four nights

Sat and Sun only 2 of us

so we run all over the hospital at times

you know the STATS are ordered at the same time

on opposite ends of the hospital

while you are doing an URGENT

keep and call patient

my feet and legs need some rest

I've been keeping up with my strengthening exercise

my elliptical riding helps a lot too 

I need new orthotics for my super flat feet

should have made a Dr appointment for this week

***

so I will rest and prep today

by prep I mean grocery shop, clean and cook

so the rest of the week I'm free to dye,

sort through my quilt fabrics

and otherwise enjoy myself

 

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...

 

 

Funky Patriotic

just finished the hooking on this one..

stayed up late and woke up early

it's been a very long time

since I've hooked like this!

need blocked and prssed and all that jazz

for now I'm going to just hook on the next rug

sooner or later my precut strips will be used up 

later rather than sooner 

Happy Sunday

 

Sew Primitive

I decided Old Glory needed a companion rug...

design elements are from a Cheri Payne pattern in my collection

still using up the already cut strips

Sew Primitive 

in case you want one

move fast...

she's retiring her pattern business at the end of this month

 

Patriotic Hooking

finally I rug I'm enjoying!

using up the strips from the stash

there might be one more 

patriotic rug in there

at least a chair pad
