The request was to have flowers all over the area and she wanted "Padula Flowers". That wouldn't be a problem, since all of my design are "Padulas", regardless of the subject I'm drawing. LOL<div>
Yesterday I finished transferring the design onto the linen. Started picking the wool colors this morning and was happy to be able to use quite a bit of over dyed wool from my inventory. Tomorrow the dye pots will be steaming. I haven't calculated the amount of wool for the background yet, but I know it's more then a couple of yards. LOL</div>
<div>
The plan is to hook the rug with # 8.5 and # 9 strips of wool. Here and there smaller cuts when needed. The motifs are designed for larger cuts.</div>
<div>
After I load the pictures here and post the blog I'm starting to hook. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since I gave up making New Years resolutions many years ago, I don't have to confess unfinished goals. LOL<br />
Just before Christmas I started 2 new rug designs. The first rug is designed for the FB group " Out Of Hand Rug Hooker's Hook-a-long & Challenge Group". Lori Brechlin posted several different motifs and we could choose from those templates to create our designs. Entry Rugs have to be completly finished by Jan 3rd 2016. I will post a picture in a few days.<br />
<br />
The other new rug is an adaptation of a vintage rug. This is a great design to use leftover worms. Though, I'm actually not noticing the pile of those going down.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Then it was time to do the binding. I over dyed 1 yard of wool. Cut my bias strips 3 inches wide and these 2 triangles are the left overs from 1 yard of wool. That's cutting it pretty close. (maybe a little to close for peace of mind). LOL</span><br />

The little rug "Fraktur 2015" is hooked.<br />
Since then I had an order for chair pads in the Fraktur style, so I redesigned the pattern to fit chair seats. The other chair pad has a rooster as the main attraction.<br />

Talking about chair pads. Here is one I designed for La Rae Schneider to match her chair. She started working on it during the 3 day Wine Country Rug Hookers workshop, Spring 2015.<br />
Great job La Rae.Folk Art Landinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04259901014356678335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346384154227042024.post-20721298885465428232015-08-24T19:08:00.000-07:002015-08-24T19:12:46.104-07:00Finally getting around to post new pictures of my progress. The BIG rug is hooked, but I'm waiting for cooler and less smokey weather to lay it out on the garage floor to steam. The wool for binding is overdyed and ready to go. I'm thankful we only have the bad air and not the actual fires in our neighborhood. We need rain to help putting out the forest fires, but that usually doesn't happen till October.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Right now I'm working on a couple of smaller rugs. I'm already thinking about another large design, but planning that will take a while.........</div>

<div>
<br />
<div>
Padula Pomegranates is 24x48. After starting to hook by echoing around the motifs, I changed my mind and decided to hook the background in "non directional" loops. I still have some echo hooking left in spots, so you can see the difference.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The other small pattern is a replica of an antique rug. Simple Spirit is 18x30<br />

Tomorrow is hooking at the Library. Mara Lou is starting "After the Flood" and requested blue wool for sky and water. These are samples out of the dye pots.<br />

LOL. Coming along, but still a ways to go. I am starting to think about the finishing. I wonder how long that is going to take and how much more wool I need to over dye for that?<br />

Between talking and looking at books this is 2 hours worth of hooking.<br />
I'm still working on the 8x10 rug. It's progressing nicely. Finished hooking the center background and the outside is off to a good start. I over dyed more antique black wool for the background. Not sure this will be enough to finish. 9.5 cuts gobble up lots of wool.<br />
We're having a heat wave in Southern Oregon. 103 yesterday and not much cooler today. I'm happy hooking with the air conditioning running.<br />

This is the new rug I started. (24x49) Small enough to take along to rug hooking meetings.<br />
The wool I over dyed are in shades of the Pantone Color Spectrum for 2015. The red is called Marsala.<br />
<br />
I wasn't able to go to the Library last Monday to hook, but did a little preview hooking at home. Now I'm back to the big rug and the background.<br />

I've been working on the big rug ( 8x10 ) yes, that is feet, not inches. Finished 8 log cabins last week and now only background is left to hook. Lots of background......I don't mind hooking background. I find it relaxing, since I don't have to think of where to put what color. Planning on finishing it, so it can move to Arizona with me, this fall. I can't wait to see it on the new wood floor in the great room.<br />
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="279" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UZPem0h50oQ/VW0gdkl6BDI/AAAAAAAAAbw/FaXpl0aq4aI/s400/FullSizeRender%2B%25283%2529.jpg" width="400" /></h4>
<br />
I did not keep track of how much wool I've used so far. I just over dyed another 2 yards of various colors to make more of the antique black background. I'll take another picture when I get that hooked in. The background is hooked in a 9.5 cut. The motifs in 8.5 and 9 cuts.<br />
<br />
Today I dyed wool for my next project. I needed something portable to take to the Library where we hook every Tue morning. I'll take a picture of the new rug tomorrow evening.<br />
<br />

I signed up for a workshop in January and that means starting a new project. Once I had the pattern traced onto the linen, I couldn't keep the hook away from the frame. So here is the first picture and the workshop isn't till next week. The runner is 10 feet long and this shows about 1/3 of it. I'll post pictures of the other 2 chicken soon.<br />
