Special Delivery


Photobucket
I couldn't keep it any longer!  I finally sewed the label on Mary's Garden rug last evening as she called and asked if I would be delivering it this week!  She may have been a bit worried that I would change my mind and decide to keep it!
  
This afternoon after giving it a final once over with the lint roller and taking a few more photos, I took the short walk down the street to Mary's house.

You may recall she wanted the rug to fit the top of a little antique table in her living room.  So I held my breath hoping my careful measurements and hooking were in sync!

Well........ what do you think Mary?  Is it what you had imagined?

I think this rug has found it's forever home and will reside happily ever after!

    Cathy, that is such a nice rug...Mary's so lucky! I wish I lived in your neighborhood (grin). Truly, it's super neat and looks great on her table. Question: did you free hand that beautiful label? It looks like something that should be in the Library of Congress, under glass.

    Custom made! I, too, love the label...tutorial here, perhaps?? The color plan is right up my alley.
    Hope Mr. LG has made a full recovery (great post).

    Cheers,

    I bet she's happy! I love that rug.... the blacks with the bright flowers are just my thing. Also, Cathy, once again you have the absolute best banners on your blog. Your eye for composition in your rugs really shows up in your photography. Hope things are getting springy up your way, and thanks for always dropping by. I love hearing from you!
