~ Tombstone Sheep ~

~ Good Morning Friends & Folk ~ 

Happy Wednesday to you!

there are a lot of you out there who are expecting another bout of Winter weather...

stay safe, warm & dry and remember that Spring is only 13 days away!

I finished hooking/punching my 'Tombstone Sheep' rug last night...YAY!

I say hook/punch, because I hooked the motifs with 1/4 inch wool strips

{lamb, basket, vines, leaves & flowers}

then turned it over and punched the entire background with my #10 Oxford punch 

and hand dyed wool yarn called 'Big Sky' from Ali Strebel Designs.

{click HERE to see all of her wool yarn}

I really love how it came out ~

what do you think?

 

 

so much beautiful texture with the yarn loops mingling with the wool loops ~

it was fun to work on this way!

I just have to bind it, then label it.

It will be available as a pattern on linen, or a paper pattern and PDF as well very soon ~

On to the next!!!
