What's On My Frame?

What's on my frame?  The answer is an adaptation of an antique runner.  

I am crazy in love with the colors of the original, so I have tried to work up the same color plan.  Yowza!  Nothing is better to me than the turquoise blue and coral colors!  As you can see, I only have one small corner portion to finish up and then I will be moving on to the border.  The wide hit-and-miss border will pull all the colors from the main design out to the edges...plus I will be adding just a few other soft old colors and a bit more brown out there too.

I started this rug at the beginning of the year and have put it aside several times to work on some smaller projects.  I find that this is one of those rugs that practically hooks itself and when I am not working on it, it calls to me to sit down and pull up a few loops.  Have you ever had a rug do that to you?

It's quite a long runner...I had to stand on my sofa to get both ends in the picture!

I'll be adding this pattern to my pattern line once it is completed.  It's a very fun design to hook!
