More Leo


Leo is moving right along. I  put a row of background around him to get a hint of the finished rug. It seems I always gravitate toward blackish backgrounds on my larger rugs. In this case, I think it will help make Leo stand out. 


I think I will start on some of the flowers this week. The section of Leo that you see here measures 18.5 by 10 inches. To keep from getting bored, I'll play with some color! As I mentioned in a previous post, this is a good size rug and I don't want to lose my momentum.

Welcome to my new followers...and thanks for all the encouraging comments!

Have a great week!

Enjoy the day,
Robyn

    Hi Robyn,
    Leo is lookin good! It will be fun to do some flowers for a change of pace. I love the antique dark backgrounds too. Everything just pops. I'm enjoying following along on your progress. It will be a stunning rug. Hugs, Lori

    Robyn, Leo is coming along quite nicely. I enjoy Karen's designs and color planning. I had the pleasure of meeting Karen at a rug hooking show which was held at the Shelburne museum in Vermont. The show was amazing with many talented accomplished hookers.BTW, I loved your little squirrel cookie cutter shown in a previous post! It feels like Fall here in Maine today, blessings Julie.

    Oh....Robyn....what have you gone and done???! I LOVE this guy!!! (Yikes, I go missing for a few days and you have a rug half hooked! Put me to shame and then some!) I adore the whimsical watch eye.....and the colors are spot-on perfect in my world....that mustard with underlying green tones....GORGEOUS! You go Girl.....(and go, and go....one of these days I'll get inspired enough and hopefully find my hooking mojo....) :o Smiles & Regal Hugs ~ Robin
