New Hooked Rug – Day 30 ~ Helen’s Tapestry

Border work today!!!  : )  Since I am doing a “draw as you go” border now with templates, I need to be sure to start at each corner and work towards the border center on each side!  That way, if I have an irregular space left, I can make a template a bit different for the border center.  If you noticed, I did that with the bottom border center.  The center motif is a bit different and also a different size!  : )

When I measured the border, it was 4 inches wide on the top and bottom and 5 inches wide on each side!!!!  LOL  I just measured one side and thought it was 5 ” all the way around.  No wonder the top and bottom motifs were so squished together!!!!!!  : )  So…when I designed my new border, I had to make the templates for the top and bottom and the templates for the sides different sizes so they’d fit!!!!!  : )

Hey…why should all this redesigning be easy for me!!!  Right???  Whew!!!!!  : )

You might want to check out my other wordpress blog – (the second one on my bloglist) – to see one of the other rugs I will be working on at the same time I’m doing Helen’s Tapestry!!  It’s a commission rug for a customer!  It’ll be fun!!!  : )

 Have a great Evening!!  Happy Hooking!  Sunnie  : )
