After that I read her novels more or less as they appeared in

Day 44 of rug hooking: Rose improvement
Rose - beforeI did not want to hook the rose the same way I hooked in the stair riser, Queen Anne Rose. I did hook it differently, but I did not like it at all. I let it go and continued to hook. I hooked another one with more pronounced lights and darks, but it still did not work. Once I had a quarter of the center of the rug finished, I realized the problem was that the rose was too
A Day Off
Yesterday I traveled to Columbus with my daughter, Jenny. We went to the From our Hands show. It was great to see everyone.On the way home, we made an impulse decision to go to Home Goods.

We found many great treasures, including a white ceramic

Day 38 of rug hooking: Resolving the Large Leaves
The large leaf motif is one that I have not hooked in my study pieces so this was new territory. I hooked the two shown first. I added two different wools around the veins just to break up the area. The fill area of the leaf was so large. I did not like either solution.Next I hooked the veins with the vein color only, no secondary color. The vein was a bit harsh. Then I decided to try just
