This is a cover I made for my rug hooking frame.
It is made from one solid piece of wool.
I have blanket stitched a lined pocket onto the front, to hold my scissor and hook.
Using wool that I have hand dyed, I pieced leaves and acorns onto the front, then embellished them with hand embroidery.
Puritan Rug Hooking Frame
The rug hooking frame has sharp teeth to hold or "grip" the rug I am hooking. The cover allows me to transport the frame safely and easily.
I am very fond of the Beaded Blanket Stitch so I use it often ! I have applied a Beaded Blanket Stitch on the edges of the cover. I like the look, but it also gives some weight to the cover and helps it to "lay down" over the frame.
Rug Hooking Frame and Cover
This is so gorgeous! I have a good friend who hooks, as well, and this would be such a beautiful gift to her. Thanks for the inspiration. And I just love your beading edges.....it adds magic! :o)
