Continuing the Second Border...

Since returning home, I haven't had as much time to work on my rug.  I had been getting new products ready for the Miniature Show in Fergus, Ontario that took place this past Sunday. However, I made sure that I was able to finish each day with a bit of stitching on my Mariko rug.

The second border is coming along nicely, and I will soon be at the last corner.  Luckily, the last side I need to do is the narrow one, so it will feel as if it is done in no time.  Once this border is finished, there is one more inner border to do before I begin the center motifs of the rug.

So far, I am enjoying this one very much. I seem to say that with each new rug I stitch, don't I?  I guess that shows I still enjoy stitching as much 

as I did when I first began my Petit Point journey back in December of 2017.  My very first Petit point project was a 1/12th scale rug that I designed myself, using some elements I found on the Web and some that I made up myself.  I completed stitching it in February of 2018. I named the rug Butterfly Rug (very original name, lol) and have posted the pattern for free in our Free Patterns section.  The pattern is free since I used some elements that were "Free for Personal use" in the design and therefore, should not sell the pattern.

It is hard to imagine that I have been doing this for just over 6 years! Who could have imagined that I would love it so much that I would go on to design so many fun rugs to stitch! I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey and look forward to many more years of designing and stitching.
