Going through boxes is always interesting...you just never know what you're going to find. Recently, while going through my rug hooking stuff, I came across this little mat. I used to have it hanging on the wall, but when I moved here in 2007, I never unpacked it. I look at it now and wonder what to do with it. It is a fun little mat and very nicely done...I think it deserves a new home.
Back in 2003, when I was fairly new to rug hooking, I participated in a swap called, "Redneck Critter Rug Swap". I no longer remember why it was called that. I do remember that we swapped rugs of farm animals. I didn't hook this mat...Faye Goode of Ontario, Canada did.
But, hey...want to see the one I hooked? Here it is...
I put a cowbell and a ribbon on the cow...isn't it cute? I have no idea who ended up with this...the poor thing. See the rooster sitting on the fence? It's all very primitive, wouldn't you say? haha. (Now you know why I moved on to quilting! {grin})
The 'sheep in goat's clothing' is the hooked mat I am giving away. The back is finished and the mat measures 12 x 12 inches.
The label tells the story
If you would like this sheep in goat's clothing to live at your place, just leave a comment on this post. And, just for kicks, tell me why you think the swap was called Redneck Critter Swap. There are no wrong answers. Just looking for something fun to read...{grin}
I will close comments and draw the winner on February 1.
Good luck!
