Challenge Rugs

I hooked the challenge rug for the Denver Hook-In and entered it in the rug show - you saw it a couple of posts back. Here are pictures of the other rugs that were done - it's amazing how differently they all turned out!





 The one below was probably my favorite - it was hooked by the same gal who designed the pattern. I love that she made a runner out of it by joining three of the motifs into a row!

Isn't it amazing how different one pattern can look by changing colors? That is a neat idea how she made a runner out of joining the 3!

All of these are so clever and gorgeous. The one on the right in the second photo is a great example of how dark outlining creates a dimensional effect. Thanks for posting this - I love seeing the different approaches - fascinating!

That is so interesting to see the different interpretations of the pattern. That runner is very nice. I had to go back a couple of posts and look at yours again. I love your version!

What a great study tool to see the different effect that can be achieved by changing the colors and the placement of colors. Thanks for this. I like the runner idea too. Thanks for this. JB

The thing that I love about hook-ins is seeing all the different rugs in progress and all the rug hooking accessories that people find useful. Challenge rugs are fun because the individual imagination makes each rug one of a kind! Thanks for sharing your pictures, Gayle!
