There is an online rug hooking forum that I frequent and there are several rug hooking challenges that have been set up recently. The one that I joined is Unfinished Objects and you can check it out at http://www.uforughookers.blogspot.com/. So many rug hookers have pieces they've started and get put aside so this is a way to tackle that UFO and be held accountable through the team blog they've set up. It will be fun and productive, for sure! Mine is a rug of my grandchilren's hands that I started two years ago ~ the picture and story about it are on that blog site.
Several weeks ago, I posted about my sister, Joyce, having an embolism and heart attack. I'm happy to report that she is doing well ~ she even went out last week and did her Meals on Wheels route ~ hello !!!! She said her doctor said to do what she felt up to doing and she did!! We're a tough bunch and I know she doesn't want to let this get the best of her ~ I give her a lot of credit for that. She started hooking about the same time I did but hasn't pursued it as much ~ she mentioned that her hooking is shreddy and she doesn't hook fast, etc. I sent her the Hartman Hook this week and am waiting to hear if it's helped! I sell them now, because it made all the difference for me in regard to the ease of hooking with wide cuts! I hope she likes it and it gets her hooking again!
Another weekend is here ~ a new month has started! Does time fly for all of you like it does here? Holy crow ~ it's hard to keep up sometimes!! Take care and have a good weekend!

Alice, Alice, Alice,
Your talents at rug hooking, decorating, gardening, and God knows what else are truly fabulous!
I love this proddy sheep, the purples are to dye (get it) for, and the stone looks so realistic. You amaze me everytime I visit your blog.
Have a great weekend,
Trudy
Hey Alice...I am blown away by your sheepie rug. I enlarged it to get a better view of (especially) the stone wall. Who'da thunk all those colors produced that gorgeous piece!!!
How'd you do the fringing on the edges? I assume it's proddy, but is it attached in any way? Is this rug hanging up in your gorgeous house?
Hi Girls!! Yes ~ I got it "to dye for" ~ you're funny, Miss Trudy!! The border is proddy ~ two rows of it against the two rows of hooking. I proddied thru just the one layer of backing and then serged about a 1" border and then bound it with wool rather than rug tape! I use both and love to use a strip of wool that I tear about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" wide and stitch very close to the hooking so that no foundation fabric shows at the edge of the rug. He hangs in the dining area of the living room ~ I just love that purple guy!!

Hi Alice,
Your sheep rug looks fabulous! Your stone wall turned out awesome too. I've not finished my rug yet-LOL-but I swear I'm going to!!! You are right, the stone wall is the hardest part, that's probably why my mat is not done. I think your stones look great...my wall looks more like a crazy quilt.
Sigh, keep up the lovely hooking!
Kris
Thanks, Kris ~ as I remember your walls looked pretty darn good ~ you just have to tackle it again. If I hadn't done mine right away, it would be sitting also ~ wonder if we'll ever hook stone walls again?
Alice
Wow your proddy sheep is wonderful. The purple packet was the way to go. The colors are fantastic. I am interested in proddy it is something I have not done.
From a fellow hooker.

Alice,
I love the sheep on the stone wall. Can you tell us the theory behind hooking that wall? Is that your pattern or Heather's?
