I received a card from Patty Murphy this afternoon and you can imagine my delight when I opened it, while waiting in line at the post office, to discover this beautiful rendition of a Susan Leslie design hooked in such a happy colour palette. I emailed Patty to ask for a digital picture so I could share this wonderful rug that will mean so much to a couple starting their life together.
Susan would be pleased as punch to know her legacy lives on and that people are still enjoying her patterns. This brighter and happier version of the pattern was hooked by Patty Murphy for her daughter's upcoming nuptials in April 2013. This is the note I received.
I thought you might enjoy seeing my version of "An Old Salt's Dream". It is a wedding gift to our daughter who has spent all or part of her 31 summers in Nova Scotia. She'll love the Lunenburg-like waterfront and as she likes mermaids and her groom is a life-long sailor the characters will be special. I thought sunny blue skies were better suited for the wedding. I'm very pleased with the finished product. Hope to see you summer 2013. Patty Murphy
All the best wishes for Elizabeth & Ty on their upcoming marriage!
I just want to add how much I appreciate all of you who take the time to share your stories and finished rugs. It not only makes my day but I'm sure it will be a source of inspiration for all.
