I have been having a great time hooking this new pattern from Woolen Memories. It is called "Country Shops" . Sandy and I have been hooking this for the past 3 weeks and sending each other our progress after each day . We are using totally different colors and has been fun to see how different they look .
Yesterday I went to see Sandy with my rug that is all finished being hooked and to see hers ! We both still need to bind our rugs. We really enjoyed seeing them in person and admiring each others work . Sandy had added little details to her shops that was so cute ! The bakery has little cakes in each window and the Flower Shop had flowers in the windows ! Such tiny detail !!! I learned so much from Sandy , it was a great experience !
Her is Sandy's version !

And here is mine !
If you click on the pictures , you can see them much better . I told Sandy I am ready for another challenge !!!!
Sandy also posted our pictures on Face Book yesterday and you can see them there too !
It is such fun to see the same design hooked by different people and different colors. I couldn't see those cakes in the bakery window so they must be very small.
ReplyDeleteThey are very small , hooked in a # 3 cut !
DeleteI love when 2 people hook the same rug. They are always so different

I Love seeing that too !
DeleteBoth are absolutely wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteWas really fun to hook this and sharing our color choices. When it came time for the border , I didn't have the right colors of wool ...Sandy suggesting using only the colors of all the roofs ! I never thought of those colors and love how that turned out !
DeleteHave to say I like your version better. Janice
ReplyDeleteIsn't that funny ....some of my friends said the same and even Sandy said that too ! LOL
DeleteFunny how so very different the same pattern can be hooked. Both are wonderful but given my love of mor primitive, earthy, colors, I, too, like yours best!
ReplyDeleteboth rugs are beautiful! love them so much, love Sandy's designs so much!
