I am having a little fun with quillies and have done an entire border in them. I was a time consuming project, but results are well worth the time. I also used a twisted wool finish on this rug. Will post more photos in the days to come.

When Laura Pierce asked me to hook on of her Caswell Impressions patterns, I thought it would be a great way to try out some various shirring, quillie and other fun techniques. Here is the final product that I call The Goldfinch and the Gray Jay. (It is actually her pattern number 64.) Martha Lowry has written a wonderful article that will appear in the Dec/Jan 2017 issue of ATHA. In it she gives wonderful instructions for some of these techniques in that Block Party Sampler — Block #8 - a Lesson in Shirring . I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did! Of course I had already fumbled my way through this rug before I read it! So, NOW, I know the right way to go about it.      |
