This time of year, everything switches from quilting to rug hooking. I love going to Cambria Pines Rug Camp! So I work hard to finish my current rug so I can enter it in the rug show. And then, of course, I have to draw my new pattern so I will be ready to work once I get there. My new rug is “the Parable of the Seeds” from the Bible. I had fun drawing it, and I looked up “Israeli birds” and found these brilliant green, black and white birds. I worked on all the different areas of the rug while at camp, and got this much accomplished.
This is the first time I’ve come back from camp and worked so much on a rug. This is just a fun one to work on. For those small green leaves on the mustard seed flowers, I cut each one at a taper to get more of a leaf shape.
Here are the rugs I shared in the rug show:

And now, I’m afraid, its back to quilting. (haha, not that I mind it at all!) I will be teaching my Quilted Embroidery class at The Cotton Patch in Lafayette on Saturday, June 29. So its off to prepare kits and prep some new demo projects for that class today.

I think that parable of the seeds is going to be my favorite although I may have said that about the cattle on the hill.
Just noticed my email address was incorrect on my previous comment. I am correcting it on this one.
Another beautiful rug – I’m always so impressed by how you interpret a bible verse into a picture for your rugs. You have a great imagination!
Your rugs are really good : )
I love your rugs. They are beautiful.
