November Rugs from Peninsula Rugmakers Guild

Gerri Shaw – Poppy (Connie Charleston pattern hooked with #3 cut directly on Dorr Wool)


Gerri's shading is exquisite!  I had to touch it to see if it was sculptured the shading was so perfect.


What a novel idea Connie Charleston had with hooking using wool as a backing.  Those of us who have struggled mightily sewing a pillow together will appreciate how much easier it will be for Gerri to make a pillow out of this piece. 




Ardis Deane – (Actual Name Unknown – Deanne Fitzpatrick pattern)

Cute pattern using real (although miniature) clothespins.  Ardis plans to hang it in her laundry room.




Ardis Deane – (Pattern & Designer Unknown)


Ardis calls this her Mt. Fuji gristmill -- maybe somewhere in Japan there is a gristmill with a pine tree and a river flowing by it.  Those mountains do resemble Mt. Fuji!

April Guild Rugs, Part One

Thought I'd share photos of the completed rugs that were brought to guild today starting with this one.

(Click photo to see whole rug).


Ardis Deane hooked this lovely adaptation of a postcard from Santa Cruz.  I believe the location is Twin Lakes Beach.


She is so prolific in her hooking.  I swear she brings in another completed rug every month (and she gives them away!)


Beautiful work.
