Fingers crossed that the design in my head is mirrored in the doormat. 🤞🏼 All are welcome to stomp on this mat 😁

A great nautical piece. Scaled perfectly, great shading, and a superior finish.

Beautifully intense colors! Love the details too.

Wow! This looks like a painting! A stunning tribute to our Marines. 🇺🇸

It’s filled with whimsy, beauty, and precise shading methods. What a fantastic piece and self-portrait. It must make you smile every time you see it. 🫶🏼

A worthy cause!

The shading and colors around the eye are life-like and precise. Beautiful!

June Garden 🐝

It’s lovely to say hello to the month of June and welcome summer with a vibrant wild garden of Irises.

I’m considering making this 26x17 inch mat into a pillow.

Wishing you a lovely month of June.

Before & After. The bottom photo shows an Iris Garden I hooked in April 2024. Top photo shows an Iris Garden I completed in May 2025. Keep going, don’t stop honing skills. Even if the design seems uncertain, keep tweaking and creating. It’s so worth it! #fiberart #artist #rughooking #hookedrug

Gorgeous!

Whoo Hoo! You made some serious progress this week. Fabulous piece with beautifully coordinated colors and shading.

Summer Solstice 🌞

My favorite month is just around the corner, and creating a vivid meadow against a yellow sky seemed like a great way to welcome the month of June and the Summer Solstice.

It’s my pleasure; and you are very kind.

I remember seeing this a few years ago and thinking how tedious it would have been to shade the gears. Your techniques stand on their own. You’re skilled at capturing light, which isn’t easy to do when working in textiles.

Great color choice for the background. It harmonizes the entire piece.

Thank you!

Getting close to finishing the sky.

The squirrel in the foreground made me chuckle. They are all adorable with their own personalities.

Solidarity is Stability 🇺🇸When we stand with a united front that is rooted in caring for each other, we are stronger and our communities more stable.

Highly recommend this uplifting book! If you like design, art, color, and finding joy in the little things, you will enjoy it!

Love your sky and use of different techniques

It’s my pleasure, Catherine.

The way you shaded the hand is spectacular! Pure wow!

Stunning! Wow!

Wow! This looks like fun. I’ve dyed only a couple of times and I love it. Such a blast to develop colors. Your dying technique is why your shading is exquisite.

Patience can be a challenge when you are in a creative flow. What dye method do you use?

I think this is marvelous!

Thank you! I think I have about a dozen values of blue.
