{ Woolen Tulip }

I finished my hooked chairpad last night,
but was too pooped to list it!!

So I will be listing it this afternoon on ebay.
it came out so old & early looking...I love the colors~
rusts, browns, robin's egg blue, sage greens, mustards & pumpkins.

making these chairpads are so much fun, although I hate to bind them...
I did bind this one with a soft cream colored twill tape, stitched on w/ black cotton string.
then I added a muslin tag to the back which reads:

"Folk Art Tulip
designed & hooked by
~ Lori Brechlin ~
December the 8th 2009
Peace & Plenty be yours...
Blessed be..."

I used a sepia colored pigma pen to write on the muslin,
then stitched it to the center of the back of the chairpad.

the finished chairpad measures approx. 12" round.
{I say "approx" because since it is hand-drawn onto the linen,
the shape is not completely round...it's a bit wonky, like me!}

Anyhoo, it was fun to make & I'm already hooking on another rug...

I'll share pics later!

I'm off to a local church for a Christmas concert, where our daughter Hannah will be playing a Flute solo for the Senior Citizens there...

{I'll take pics of that, too!}

Have a wonderful day, create something dear to your Heart~
Peace & Plenty be Yours,

Lori
