Yesterday I finished up another batch of Easter and Valentine Ornaments that I had orders for! Should have taken a picture of the numbers before I packed them all up! Guess I just wanted them in the mail so I could move on to something else! And.... that I did. Last evening I was able to work on finishing a couple of small hooked pieces that I hooked along with the Valentine Mat for Primitive Handmades Mercantile. I love pouches and pillows so I did one of each! Not bad for a beginner! I wasn't sure how to finish the edges where the hooked part meets the wool backing so I whipped a wool strip in there! Need to check with my friend Kathy at Woolfinds to see what the right way to do it is! Didn't turn out half bad for a beginner! I hand stitched both of them together and made a lining for the pouch.
Don't forget to sign up for the newsletter at Primitive Handmades Mercantile for a chance to win the awesome prizes donated by 4 of the members and keep up to date on new items being offered. Our group is growing so be sure to check it out! The winner will be drawn tomorrow morning at 11:00am!
Happy Stitching!

You did a beautiful job I love them that is one thing I never learned how to do I can sew crochet and turn unusual things into something but never learned this technique may have too google to see how it it done I love the look of it
ReplyDeleteIs there any tutorials you recommend for learning?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words ladies! I don't really know of any tutorials but I'm sure YouTube would have something on rug hooking. I bought a kit that had everything I needed to get started for my first one. I was fortunate enough to have a wool shop close by that holds the hook=ins every week and they are there to help with any questions!!
ReplyDeleteTeresa, I Love your pieces! Very Prim :)! Keep on going, you are doing great!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day,
Barb
Those pieces are wonderful Teresa. Hooking is on my bucket list too. Yours look amazing for your first time!!
ReplyDeleteWowsers - those don't look like "beginner" pieces to me Teresa....Great job! Love the little pouch especially well. I know I'm very late here, but for the person asking about the hooking tutorial - Margie from The Hungry Hook (who also is one of the Primitive Handmades artists) put together some very comprehensive tutorials - they're listed on the side of her blog.
