My Magdalena rug is still in the works, but my Maggie rug is the one that will hang in the eating area of my kitchen. I am planning to repaint my kitchen and cupboards (YUCK!)and would like to coordinate the colors used in this rug. So, it's really important I get this project done first....plus, if it is finished by the middle of April, I would like to put it in the exhibit for the Saline Hook In in April here in Michigan...but we'll see....the rate I'm going, it might be next April before I'm done!
The darker shade of wool worms, are the ones that I settled with for my background..the paler, more greyish/black worms are the ones I was not quite as fond of as the hooking progressed. This is the largest rug I have ever attemped to hook, so I'm sure, finishing this piece will be loads of fun!!

Your Maggie B rug is coming along beautifully Bobbie! It will be wonderful hanging. I know what you mean about the wider cuts! I love hooking with them and the rug gets done quicker too.
Lookin' GREAT Bobbie!!!! All that painting in your kitchen is going to be a lot of work, but it will be so much worth it when it's finished... Especially with you using colors to compliment what's in your rug!
I think that your rug is coming along great! It will be a wonderful addition to your house. I'm still struggling along with mine, but it's getting easier as I go along. Just like you, even though I don't have a day job except for cleaning, chauffeuring, cooking, etc., I still don't get much time.

Your Maggie B rug is lookin' good! I know what you mean about the wider cuts. I am beginning to think an 8 cut is too skinny!
Please keep us posted on your progress.
Pug hugs :)

Cut yourself some slack, Your rug looks great. As you hook it - love what you are doing - you are putting your soul into that piece and you will love it for many years afterards.
Wish I lived closer and I would jump in, with all 4's, and help you paint that kitchen to showcase your rugs!!!!!
Do it all with Glee. You've got lovely artwork to showoff - you have a kitchen that is going to be smokin hot and you'll have all the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself. YOU GO GIRL!!!!! You'll be so proud when it's all finished.
