The Beauty of Flowers

Summertime and flowers galore! Their vibrant colours lift the spirit and bring joy to the heart.
Whether blooming in wild meadows or adorning a quiet windowsill, flowers offer a gentle reminder of nature's generosity and creativity.

Pattern by Kelli Smith Designs
Hooked with #4, #5 and #6 cuts of recycled wool on linen
Whipped edging with pink wool yarn around a black hooked border

 

This rug pattern on linen was gifted to me on my birthday by the artist Kelli Smith. We are members of the same Facebook page, and she sent it to me because she said I always was supportive to the other people who post. I was thrilled. It was my challenge to use only pre-owned pre-cut strips without cutting any new ones. I was almost successful with this challenge, and I am happy with the result.
