SKETCHING / EMBROIDERY

GOOD IDEA! a must read! I am a big fan of Sue Doves hooked rugs! and now her embroidery pieces. Why do I love them? Its the simple child like quality about her work . . .like the lollypop TREES! . . .. thanks for this info Darlene! Looks like you might be right! First saw her work on the welcome mat . . . . and I believe she came to Deanne Fitzpatricks in NS last year? READ this article by SUE on Deanes blog Looks like a good read for the beach days coming up sooooooooooon! .

TIP for SEWING on BINDING TAPE for HOOKED RUG

Yesterday I suggested you start sewing on the binding in the corner . . . Be sure to leave a couple of inches to cut off at the end- and then just fold and set up the mitre on the back side-at the corner where you started! Voila!! there are no seams joined on your sides. On the underneath side,neatly sew corner MITRED together with tiny little stitches . . .use LINEN thread or . . . . if you do not have any, then use 100% COTTON . . Take small running stitches all around on the inside edge of your tape. For the BEST PHOTOS of this whole procedure check out Jen Manuels BLOG site her pictures are excellent for yesterdays description of the same thing! Please Remember there are many ways to FINISH the EDGE of a RUG . . . this is just one way . . .which I ,myself like . . if the rug is at all like an old style of Antique kind of design. . . .or any other style come to think of it! .
