This was my second workshop with Jayne Hester and I am really thrilled with how my rug turned out. I would have never come up with the idea to run with teal in a pineapple and certainly would not have used teal for sunflowers, but I am so happy with the colors!
I've actually made a little more progress since I got home, mainly filling in background. This is such a small rug relative to my usual projects - it might actually be finished reasonably soon!
Jayne's specialty is low contrast, old-looking rugs. I think she stepped out of her box a bit for me (although my colors certainly aren't "bright" relative to a lot of things I do!). Many of my classmates had much more subtle rugs. Jeannette's was very neutral:
And Leah's was done in shades of gray with just a hint of lavender:
Cindy's rug looked amazingly old - and she is a ridiculously fast hooker:
There were lots of other great rugs - I got sidetracked taking a picture of the fabulous lunch Jim was preparing and missed getting pictures of the rest. Lunch was beautiful, too - you can see why I was distracted!
This delicious lunch came from Jim's garden (he even claims to have grown the sausage!). As usual, all of the food was wonderful. It was a great weekend!
