Sunday Dinner & Spools of my Thread...

Happy Wednesday!

I finished hooking a little chicken rug…

((no this isn't the larger one I'm naming "Chicken Soup",

 you'll have to be patient for peeks of that one))

this one I'm calling

"Sunday Dinner"

 who doesn't love chickens?

and pie?

and chicken pot-pie?

….Mmmmm comfort food.

{oh, sorry…back to the rug.}

I wanted a very scrappy, almost early/vintage look for this little girl…

so I used some wonderful wools that I bought from 

Mary Henck

(www.maryswoolgarden.com) 

and Rebecca Erb 

(www.thewoolstudio.com)

while I was at Rug Fest saturday ~

some hand dyed, some as-is…

scrappy hen

 I had some of the girls at the show kind of bewildered I guess,

because I hook my rugs with hand-cut strips (anywhere between an 8 & a 10 cut)

BUT

I use a tiny, FINE rug hook to pull my loops through the linen…

I'm also a 'high hooker' as you can tell:

high wool loops

 I love this little rug ( approx.  9" x 14" at the moment)

….and think I'll add another border around her…

then add some fringe and make into a big heavy pillow!!

maybe the fringe should look like straw?

Hmmmm….again.

and here is the finish for the current

Little Stitches Handwork Club project

(April/May/June LSHC):

"Spools of my Thread"

a sweet little pocket project/kit to hold your old wooden spools ~

 This kit will be shipping a little late (sorry ~ please forgive?) 

...due to the preparations for the Rug Fest last week…

so watch for yours in your mailbox soon!

worked in blues and brown….
a quick and easy 'in-between' project for your hands and sewing basket
