I can't believe how fast the time is going! Two of the Grand Kids go back to school on the 25th! My garden is thriving--we've actually had some great tomatoes this year and the vines are still loaded. My biggest thrill has been my Coneflowers. I've been trying for 7 years but for one reason or another they just wouldn't happen. This year its all changed and there are blooms galore. They have inspired my latest piece which is a hooked rug with a needle punch center. The hooked part is done in my interpretation of the quilt pattern Sunshine and Shadows-a Log Cabin variation. As many of you know, I don't like straight lines in my rugs--they just feel so unnatural!! Geometric designs, of course, require straight lines and I usually avoid the geometrics--with the exception of Log Cabin--just love it and love hooking it. So here it is with a needle punched center of a Coneflower--one of my own posed for the design. Just wanted to share this with you--it's currently listed on ebay .
Have a great day and enjoy the weather while we have it!

Oh what a beautiful rug it looks three dimensional. Log cabin is one of my favorites and the needle punched center just adds a charming touch!
