Thanks, rags, I remember. Joan is doing a beautiful job completing the work. As I recall, you drew it out? Nice design drafting.

Thanks, rags, I remember. Joan is doing a beautiful job completing the work. As I recall, you drew it out? Nice design drafting. Hi maeve, Joan had someone with special equipment draw up the full size design on paper. Joan and I traced that design on the rug canvas with marking pens. very striking & such a lot of work, no wonder we haven't seen Joan here for a while. Hello Sandra, Joan was travelling, was ill when she returned, and has been working a bit. I've been nudging her to come and post here when she has time and energy. rags |

Sandra, I believe if and when I finish this rug my next project will be something very, very, small. I have some cross stitch and also embriodery also a closet full of wool  ? What ever catches my interest but not one that takes several years. Joan |

if and when maybe you can do a little cross stitch between blocks of rug! Like having morning or afternoon snacks between meals! |

When I visited Joan today she had been working on her rug and allowed me to take photos to show you her progress.  A closer view of the top section:  rags |

Thankyou ladies for the comments. It is encouraging I promised myself I would finish this year. It takes about 30 minutes to do one blue square. so another few months and I will be done with any good luck.
