Well I am back after a long hiatus!
Another blogger brought it to my attention that it had been awhile
since my last blog post. She was being kind, it has been over a year!
Where did that time go? Wow!
Well last year I was so busy with doing
Hook-ins and teaching, that I just couldn't do it all, so I guess my
blogging took a back seat. I wasn't hooking much and not much to share.
I have not been doing much hooking this
year either. I did a Hook-in in Texas in March, came home and have
just been taking some much needed time to just relax and catch up on
life!
However!
I started this rug back in February
while hooking with some ladies in Onancock VA for a week. I have
hooked a little on it since then, but not much. I thought it would be
appropriate since this week is the of July 4th. This is an adaption
of an antique quilt made in the 1800's.
This is the information that I have on the antique quilt:
1825 - 1840 Susan
Strong's "Great Seal" Quilt - Smithsonian - National Museum of American
History. An appliquéd and embroidered adaptation of the Great Seal of
the United States centers this cotton quilt made by Susan Strong in the
early second quarter of the nineteenth century. Susan probably made this
quilt in Ohio, where her family moved prior to 1820. The Great Seal has
been in use since 1782 to authenticate documents issued by the United
States government. Many adaptions of the Great Seal of the United States have been made, but I love this one!
Thanks for taking the time to come and read my blog!
ENJOY!

ReplyDeleteIts always so nice to have a break. That is a lovely rug.
Hello, I went by to say hello, since I've been disconnected from everything for a long time. As always I love your work. That I still think that they are not chapucillas, but great works. A kiss.
