The Story of Aunt Shirley
Aunt Shirley LOVED color... and martinis.
Her clothes were always bright and happy. To honor her big personality, this martini mat was hooked with the wool from a pair of red plaid pants that only she could pull off. She loved martinis so much that she was even buried with one on top of her casket.
A hidden "S" and a heart are hooked into the background.
Dan's Pants All Over Europe
Dan wore those old wool army pants on just about every camping, hiking, biking, and canoeing trip for over a decade. When he could no longer use the pants, he presented them to me, thinking I could use them in my art.
As he placed the neatly folded pants in my hands, he said (with great emotion), “These pants have been all over Europe!” So, I made a mat of Dan’s pants all over Europe. The bicycle wheel and spokes represent the fact that all his trips in Europe were cycling trips.
Mom's Worms
Worms or noodles are leftover strips of wool from hooking project! The table runner includes wool worms from almost every one of my Mom's hooking projects--easily identifiable to those of us who know her finished hookings.
