The 10 Minute Rug Hooker Challenge!


Greetings from Maryland!

I'm sure most of you have heard about April DeConick's 10 Minute Rug Hooker Challenge by now. If not, you need to check out her blog, Red Jack Rugs, and find out more about what she's doing in the rug hooking community. Great things are happening there!

I decided to sign up for her challenge...hence the blog to track my progress! It's really quite simple and painless. (The challenge that is. Can't say the same for blogging just yet!) You agree to hook, or do something related to hooking like designing, dyeing, etc, for 10 minutes a day, 6 days a week. I can do that! So, I signed up last week and am amazed at the progress that I've made. I wanted to share the rug that I'm working on with you. It's a design by Kelley Belfast and I love it! I think I might actually get it finished by Halloween...this year even! Life is good!

Hope everyone has a delightful day and, as always, HAPPY HOOKING!

    What a beautiful rug! (I didn't realize it was an ABC rug until I read Debra's comment. Duh!)

  7. Hi Mary! Love how you are hooking up Kelley's pattern! You have a bunch of patience to be hooking around all those letters! :-) I'm hooking at least 10 minutes a day... though I haven't officially signed into their group... Just seeing the challenge logo on my blog in the morning reminds me to pick up that hook!!! LOL!

  8. I adore samplers - whether they're hooked, cross stitched, or a stitchery - yours is looking great!
