Following the grape theme, Susan Leslie purchased this pattern called "Caswell Fruit" from my shop in 2002 and did a fantastic job hooking it. There are two version of this design. This is the smaller of the two and then there is one with a floral motif on either side. Sorry the photo is so dark and of course the rug is long sold so I can't take a better one. A woman bought it for over her bed. What a fabulous way to wake up and start the day, drinking in a rich saturation of nature's bounty! This is one of my favourite Susan hooked pieces. Sure, you can call me bias, but her colour sense and hooking was tops!
I've been thinking a lot about Susan lately. It's the time of year when she passed away. Her absence is still felt after all these years. One can only imagine how many masterpieces she would have created if she had been able to carry on. Rug hooking has certainly been cheated...... It's true, the good ones die young.....guess I'll be around for awhile.....
