My wife tells me she is going to a meeting the other day. What kind of meeting I ask? She says..."Hookers and Strippers"...:confused:Really?! can I come too? No it is not that kind of hooker. Rug Hooking she says

Anyway, she has been making pillows and small rugs for a while now but she just started a much larger rug and it has a striper theme. She showed me the work in progress (below). She said it will take a few more months before she is complete. I will post a final photo when it is done.

so cool......please keep us updated on the progress!

That should be a beauty when done!!

Looks great,

Last Cast :fishin:

darn I had high hopes for this thread before I opened it :hee:

I thought the island had hookers and strippers . nice piece of art . please show us when she is done . wish I had artistic skills or could read and write .

Gee, my 80 year old mother did one for me as a present for 06 xmas. I should take a pic and post it. Only problem is it is of a fresh water bass, but she did a great job. Yours looks freehand right, following no pattern just designing as she goes. Its huge. Tremendous amount of work left there.

A little progress...it's been a busy winter. This summer for sure:hee:

WOW..That is beautiful...........

darn I had high hopes for this thread before I opened it :hee:

:bgi:

Sweet

My mind was 180 degress from the actual topic of this thread.

Looking good. Keep us posted. Is the wife going to fill in the entire work?

That is very, very, very Cool! I just love it! :)

Pretty sneaky way to get us to read your tread. :rotf2: :rotf2: I was "HOOKED". Tell the wife- "nice work". :humpty:

I knew that would get your attn (but that is what it is called).....I noticed the moderators were the first to reply. JohnR must have upped their pay:hee:.

It looks better in person and I have the perfect spot for it when it is done. (I am going to frame it an wall mount it in the rec room)

It is her original design and she drew it freehand. I know she wants to get it done to enter it in the MV fair this summer. (lots of hookers there:hee:) I acted as a "lure consultant" when she started looking at my plug bag for ideas.

Yes, the entire area will be filled in.

It's finished!
Took about 6 months. She worked on in while I was out fishing most of the time and over vacation in the evenings.

Here are a couple photos of the status when on vacation and as of today (completion day).

It will be entered in the fair this coming week.

Jim, tell your wife that it is pretty amazing and good luck in the fair.

WOW,,,, That thing is beautiful,,,

That's incredible.

Very nice, looks like your 'Gonzo' on the lower corner.

If the judges are fisherman, that'll win it for sure.

holy crap that would look awesome in my striper room :devil2:

Very nice job she did Jim. She's a great hooker for sure :rotf2:

That is nice. I hope she wins.

I gotta admit the title of this thread "hooked" me in. Good hooking on the canvas and writing the title of this thread! I hope she wins.

Very nice Jim,
She did a great job :kewl:

she won the blue ribbon:hee:

Wow, Jim. You took her all the way to Cuttyhunk for vacation????:rotf2:
That is an awesome piece, great design and execution.

That is absolutely beautiful! She was a shoe in for first place! :kewl:

That's excellant Jim
Tell her congratulations for me :kewl:
