My teacher this year was Ingrid Hieronimus. If you ever have a chance to take a class from her I highly recommend it. Her sense of color and design are outstanding.
I am doing a design by Monika Jones, Folk Art Landing, and we did a grid in the background for a design that you can barely see at the bottom. One square is gold metallic and the other is silver metallic with different colored stripes. The reds and purples were colors I dyed but the golds, blue, and dip dyed greens are all Ingrid. The solid gold has the gold metallic. I wish this showed more of the detail. What ever I did on one side, I switched around on the other side.
This rug got so many compliments and I understand there was a lot of talk about it. Pris Butler, another teacher, kept coming by to see what else we had done to it.
Ingrid was so much fun. If I ever have a chance to take another class from her I will be there. I think I'm her new groupie.
The Monks take such good care of all of us and the kitchen catered to my celiac. I had so much fun that I can't wait to go again next year.
Check out our group blog at http://wildwestrughookers.blogspot.com/ to see what others were working on and soon I will put the rug show up.

Am I understanding this right? That you're going to hook a checkerboard for the background? I think that's a great idea! Love your colors and flowers are always a winner in my book!
It's beautiful!
