Hooked by Bernie Findlan
Hooked by Bernie Findlan of Franklin, Pennsylvania (one of Barb’s students). This is the 53 x 97 rug and yes it looks spectacular in “real life”! I honestly can not make one change to make it any better. The way the tulips are different on each side and play off of each other, the blue background is perfect against the rust. The middle flower is deep and rich and anchors the rug. All in all – perfect!

Cape Ann (29 x 53, 53 x 97)

A glorious rug. The light background makes the colors of the flowers sing while the entire rug is very gracious. Jan’s use of color is very playful and yet using different hues of the same colors makes this rug super comfortable.
Cape Ann (29 x 53, 53 x 97)
Hooked by Louise Schram
Cape Ann was hooked by Louise Schram of Whitehouse, Ohio. There are so many wonderful color areas in this rug. Notice the highlight of the soft gold on the tips of the tulips, the colorful wools in the leaves and stem, the way the round posies cross diagonally instead of across from one another and the purple “mitten” flowers. Colorful, playful and perfect.

Christmas Garden (36″ half-round)
Hooked by Mary Cotter
Hooked by Mary Cotter, Leechburg, Pennsylvania. Is this Christmas or what? A very festive rug with the red deer, and the wonderful colors in the border. Note the neat dividing line between the background and the border wool in the half round part of the rug. It is very sutle and soft. The transition between the backgound and border is perfect.
