Udderly New Idea for my Hooked Rug

Posted on 9:45 AM by hill wilf
For all those that wonder what is Back to Larkrise doing on Farm Friend Friday.Lol! I Know I don’t have a true farm but I use to have chickens and I am going to be getting some in the future!But to me a Farm is a state of mind A love of Animals the Country Life.I can't have a true Farm but I can show Farm animals in my Rug hooking and Quilting. There are so many enjoyable hobbies that display the pure Farm Life that all of us wish we could enjoy everyday. So my Farm In Crest California  is filled with My critters . A crazy Orange Kitty and a loveable Shitzu. I enjoy waking up to the sound of Hawks, blue jays, woodpeckers and I do hear all sorts of chickens and Roosters in my neighborhood. My neighbor does  raise a pig for the fair every year. Oh and I did Spin wool at The Del Mar Fair one year. Lol..



MOO!
Hooking my Rug!
 I have been perplexed on what to do with an area which I had ripped out. I looked at some old appliqué patterns since I can’t draw and I realized when all else fails Hook a Cow!


It would be perfect for my hooked rug. I have my black angel, My hearts, Church and a cow would be my animal. I am so relieved. Sometimes you have to put a rug away for a couple days to rethink what you want to do to it. Because frankly it makes you crazy!

                                         My 12 Days of Christmas Quilt I am still working on!



The Cheri Fan club met last night which is a group of ladies that love Cheri Payne quilts. We had such
laughs and worked away on our Cheri Quilts.There is a lot of handwork but I love her primitive quilts
so it's worth it.
Last night I was working on my 12 days of Christmas. It has a lot of hand work. Cheri does alot of wool applique so what I don't use for Hooking I can use for my Cheri Quilts.
New fabric at the County Loft  had come in and I found a perfect blue homespun for the border!

It’s like all the stars aligned for me.I still have to do my hand stitching and sew the blue border but it's getting there.

So I am udderly Happy Today I am going to plant a Lavatera bush and a Butterfly bush and work in my garden!
