My finishes for this week, are my attempt to finish rug hooking ufos, which have accumulated just like quilt ufos. This is one of the first rug hooking projects I made in 2010. I didn't even know how to finish anything yet, so I didn't finish it. It has been sitting waiting patiently. I decided to make a zippered bag. When I sewed the bag pieces to the hooked piece, I could only get so close, so I needed to hook another row.
I made the bag at a retreat using the tutorial at noodlehead
I also finished a rug hooking chair pad. I had a little bit of the last border to hook. I turned the edges over and hand stitched a piece of wool to the back. I added a little cotton batting to the inside for a more comfy pad.
I bought this kit on ebay |
this is a One monthly goal |

I love to see how people "finish" their creations. I hope you get a lot of use out of the little bag and chair pad. Fabulous finishes!
ReplyDeleteThe zipper pouch looks like a great way to finish up a UFO like that! Useful, too!
ReplyDeleteLove your finishes!!! I tried rug hooking, but just couldn't get into it.
ReplyDeleteCute bag!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that little pouch, and that Noodlehead pattern is a good one - yay for a free table ;-) and yay for softness under a bottom! ;-) That's a beautiful chirped. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF.
