This bright cheerful little rug is just the right size to work....23 x 29" on 13st... and the bonus ..your tassels will never fray , since they are part of the needlepoint... repetitive to paint , so maybe also to wok, but the effect will be worth it...
Painting those tassels would be tedious, but stitching them would be relaxing to many, as the repetition is much like knitting. On a well painted canvas, one doesn't have to struggle with where to put the next stitch. Just handwork without a lot of thought. It's beautiful!
here in Squiggeeland...we have had so much rain, that the weeds too, and the uncut grass have taken over... Squiggee is so short, we lose her in the grass....and to add to our misery...it is cold and raw, and gray...and forever raining............it is mushyland I am miserable.........help !!!! xoxoxo g
Nice rug, Gail! We need a little rain here in the mountains, but it is in the low seventies, sunny, with a cool evening breeze. I think we are due for rain on Thursday!
I am a working artist. I have been designing needlepoint since 1972,when after graduating college , I took an apprenticeship at American Needlework Center in Georgetown, DC. I found my calling and have never looked back.I have designed for the Washington Cathedral and the White House and continue a large custom business . In 2000 I started to design for wholesale under the name BY GAIL .In 2004 Squiggee designs was born and introduced on eBay. These designs appeal to me, just fun! Squiggee opened up the world embellishments to me. I have been married to a very wonderful master cabinet and furniture designer going on 37 years.He is the only man that has not bored me.He has a wicked sense of humor and a loving nature,we are well matched.Since his early retirement in 2008, he joined the Squiggee Family , managing the office and he is our link to the shops. He has become such an intracranial part of the day to day running of Squiggee Designs , that shops refer to him as " Mr. Squiggee". We have a Chi-weenie named Twinkle , a mix of Doxie and Chihuahua and her older brother, a six year old black miniature poodle named Omar , who sports with a small white goatee.

Very spring-like! I would love to have something like this beside the bed so I could step out to spring each morning....
Jane, sighing with pleasure here in CH (where spring is drowning in rain and weeds)

Well I won't invite you to Texas to get warm. It was 98 yesterday and today - and will get worse until about Nov.1. We are suffering.
