Day 867 New Flowers for Border

My last post was day 659, but I’ve made a commitment to myself to get more time on my rug. I have been distracted by other responsibilities and other hooking projects, but during the next few months, I am getting back in the groove.

New flower from Flower Riot Pattern

If you have been following the blog, you’ve seen my progress on my new rug hooking pattern, Flower Riot. I’ve decided to use one of the flowers in the corner of the border.  Because I will be hooking all day today during the Love of Art event in Pemberville, I should have some progress to post tomorrow.

Hooking this flower also gives me an idea of how large the Flower Riot pattern will need to be.  There is a delicate balance where a flower is too big or too small to hook.  I intend Flower Riot to be hooked with a wide cut.

  1. Cindy, I visited the “flower roit” design and really appreciate your letting us get into your head to see how a design evolves. It is so intense. I don’t think most hookers realize just what it takes to design a rug. I’m not sure I even want to go through such a complicated design process. I’ll stick to hooking and just by my designs already on backing. Thank you for sharing with us.
