What's New And Exciting At Seven Gables Rug Hooking...





This rug uses 3 reds to hook the hearts. The fletching on the arrow uses various golds which are carried over into the tongues in border. The point of the arrow picks up the reds that were used in the heart. The background of the border is a dark blue. It's hooked in an 8-cut.

I've used a wonderful texture to hook the horse in this rug. The texture suggests movement and provides definition in the body of this horse. He's a "star" under saddle as suggested by the stars in all 4 corners. Hooked in an 8-cut.

This table runner was designed by me and hooked by Janet Brogan. The pattern has a wonderful primitive feel and the colors were designed to compliment her antique china. It was hooked in an 8-cut and looks lovely on top of her cherry topped dining table. I have taken the central motif of the two birds in the tree and made a chair pad pattern for her windsor arm chairs.

As Seen In the October Edition of The Wool Street Journal

Several years ago I learned to make "pennies and tongues" from Laurie Simpson (www.minickandsimpson.com). The more I stitched, the more I enjoyed making them. This pattern was created as a way to incorporate the look of the blanket stitching around my pennies and tongues into my rug hooking. The resulting pattern is great fun to hook. It's drawn on 100% primitive linen and includes directions for how to hook the "blanket stitch" around the edge of the horse. Also included is the pattern I used for the "tongue." I hooked with an 8-cut and used only two colors for the whole project.

I created this pattern for the July 2007 issue of The Wool Street Journal. It's hooked in an 8 cut in traditional patriotic colors. It started out on the top of one of my painted cupboards, but it's now moved to the center of the table on our screened porch. It's a perfect size to fit anywhere you want to display your work. Although I used traditional patriotic colors I think it would be beautiful hooked in many other colorways.

Here's a whimsical log cabin showing off it's patriotic spirit. That's my horse jumping over the roof. I hooked this in an 8 cut using many different overdyed wools. The rug hangs over the mantel in my tavern room and it really picks up the colors of my painted pieces. Several friends have hooked this rug, one with a crow on the roof and another with her cat in the place of my horse.
