Jen you would be proud! I actually finished HOOKING my portrait rug

FINALLY!  all the hooking is done :_)  Lots of TLC in this rug!
This will be put away for Michael (now 18 and 2 when I took the photo), it isn't as if we have any room left to display it and I would not walk on Grandma :-)

Now all I have to do is whip the edges, all 38" x 48" of them... I have some variegated wool with purple, blue, brown, tan in it and have lots so will use that for my edging.  Now that will take a while!  I actually enjoy hooking so much more than whipping.  (I lightened the photo a tad as it did not show the colour difference between the burgundy and the mustard-brown plaid squares very well.)


And I have always been told that if your back shows as well as the front 'be proud'!  
 Now what next... hmmm?
