I am finally finished hooking this horse rug. It appears much brighter than it really is.
It's a rug I started years ago and then put it away. I was never really happy with the colors.
I think the blue was not the blue I wanted to use but every other color I used I took out. So this blue it was I returned back to. I haven't made up my mind where it's going yet. I was going to keep it on the floor but Marc likes me to hang them :)
It's all ready now and I am so glad to be able to move on now to another antique reprodution. I have no more Unfinished Projects...feels good!!!!!!!!

I LOVE that rug and your rendition came out great! It's on my wish list of rugs I'd like to hook.
I, too, have a problem capturing the true colors of my rugs.
I look forward to seeing more of your projects. You always make such great items.
Pug hugs :)

YAY for finishing your rug - doesn't it feel the greatest! And that's a big one too! Love the colors you used - the blue is perfect.
Woohoo - another UFO done! Great job Kim! Looks likes the antique rug!
Your rug looks great but I'm a little envious that you have no unfinished projects. I have too many. lol
that look so good -- just in time for thanksgiving too!
LOVE IT!. Great job! Nice colors, I think blue is perfect.
Your rug turned out just beautiful. Someday I will try this again. I did years ago but don't have any of the equipment to do it. Nor the time as far as that goes.
You know, I'd love to see it hanging - I think they are pieces of 'art'

Hi Kim,
I would like to do a horse rug sometime! They are so folky and go wonderful with primitives and antiques! Your colors are great! It deserves to be hung! Cathy G
Happy you finished one for "YOU' Kim...
I can safely say I DON'T know what it's like to have any Unfinished Projects, of course I don't what that says about ME!!!
Anyway The Rugs a Beauty Kim and I'm glad you finished it...
Always~Marilyn
It turned out great! One of these days I am going to learn how to do that!
Lovely rug, Kim. I like the blue in the rug. Can't wait to see your next project.
Kim, your horse hooked rug turned out beautifully, and the blue is a perfect compliment to the other colors. When hooked rugs were first worked, I'm sure the colors were very vibrant. Over time, people using them on the floor gave them the "patina" I think you maybe were striving for. Hard to duplicate unless you want to rub some coffee grinds into it! LOL! How lucky you are to create such a beautiful piece of art!
