My first rug hooking project!


I did my first rug hooking project.   I found an applique picture in an old Create & Decorate magazine and drew it on Scottish burlap.  Hooked with recycle wool where I bought skirts and pants at Goodwill.
I did dye the blue sky, green grass and the mauve flowers with kool-aid.


I had a lot of fun doing this but I know I need a real rug hooking frame before I do a bigger rug.  This one was about 18 x 20 and I used a Morgan embroidery hoop.  Next rug will be a more primitive one, have already got the pattern ready to draw!
