Little Girls...Big Hooking

Thanks everyone for bolstering me up about my finished rug.  I considered taking it down and adding an outline to the motif, but then thought...oh, just let it go and move on.  It was never supposed to be perfect.  It was always supposed to be a learning piece.  The beauty is, I'll never run out of wall space, because I'll always be swapping out the old rug for the new! ;-)

I wanted to share with you the latest progress of my young rug hooking group.  They really took to the craft and hoard their worms and plan new colors like seasoned rug hookers!  Here are some pictures of their work.  I'm doing very little guiding...really only coaching them on how to pull the loops, then letting them go to town. 

All of these were designed by the girls using the templates I brought with me.

This one was hand-drawn by one of the students.  She dances, so she wanted a dancer.

I love this flower with the big petals.

And this one, though you can't tell from the picture, looks almost like proddy it is hooked so high.  It's very textured and she is quite proud of it.  She works on it during indoor recess and carries it in her backpack everyday!

They hook and talk and make up "who can be the quietest" games...which always ends in a giggle fit!!  Every week someone says how much they like it!  So, I've created a new wave of rug hookers!  The only thing is... I now know way more than I need to about their favorite topic....Justin Bieber!!
Cheers!
