Village Of Pemberville Hooked by Cindi Gay Submitted February 2003 "Village of Pemberville" was designed in a
class with Pris Buttler. I should
have known from the beginning that this was not going to be a simple hook. When I decided to get organized and
color plan the rug (after hooking about a month), I realized that the placement
of the buildings was all wrong. Luckily,
rug warp has two sides. I
frog-stitched (rip-it, rip-it, rip-it) the hooking I had completed, turned the
backing over and redrew the design. The large pine tree took three months to get right. I was asked to teach a workshop on pine trees as a result of this hard work. I wrote a workshop booklet, Pictorial Basics: Pine Trees, Grass and Sky, to keep me on track. I was pleased when the students could duplicate the method. I learned on this piece not to be afraid of shadows. Previously I hooked shadows, but not with as much contrast. The shadows are what bring this rug to life.
