TA- DA!

It's done!

I un-hooked everything I didn't like and re-hooked it. I think changing the leaves made a huge difference. I also love the 1 inch green border around the outside edge. Sandy taught me how to sew on the rug tape by hand.  It was much easier then I was anticipating. 

I  am super happy with it and glad to have it finished.

 
I couldn't wait to show the girls at our chapter meeting my completed rug. Even though they have been hooking longer then I have been alive and they are on a completely different level then I am, they all ohhhed and awwed and made me feel like it was the greatest thing ever.  You have to love it when other people appreciate your work (I don't even care if they were faking it). 

I wanted to have a photo taken with Sandy. Sandy was the lady we met in the park a year ago that introduced my girls and me to rug hooking.  She also has all of us local hookers over to her house every Thursday night. She has been amazingly wonderful to me helping me with everything and answering all my never ending questions. 

Here is a detail of the front

And the back. According to Sandy the white areas that is showing are called vacations. She said that mine look great and show I am not a packer. Good hookers are not packers.
I have already started my next project... but it's a gift so I can't post about it yet.
