Recently finished

Hi everyone,
I thought you might like to see my adaptation of an antique rug,
" Two Little Kitties"
Well, almost finished will press and bind this week.
Something about hit and miss borders that I love!
And I don't get board hooking them.
In fact I think I could hook a huge runner and enjoy every minute of it!! :)


I also wanted to share a wool appliqué kit
from Cee Rufus of Early Style Penny Rugs.
I really enjoy hand-stitching while taking
 a break from hooking.
I have stitched several of her kits.
I can feel another addiction coming on! :)


Wishing you all a wonderful creative week!
xoxo Louise

    Two wonderful accomplishments. Wish my hit and miss borders looked so goo. I think my problem is that usually (for me) it is a way to get rid of left over strips so mine looks messy. Yours has a rhythm and consistency which mine never has. Will save a copy of yours as a GOOD example of what hit and miss should look like.

    Beautiful! That is the kind of hit and miss I like, it's organized and looks beautiful. I've seen other hit and miss where they just grab out of the bag and hook and to me it looks shoddy and too busy, not a relaxing rug. But that's just my opinion. Your's is beautiful Louise!!

    hugs
