June Garden 🐝

It’s lovely to say hello to the month of June and welcome summer with a vibrant wild garden of Irises.

I’m considering making this 26x17 inch mat into a pillow.

Wishing you a lovely month of June.

Before & After. The bottom photo shows an Iris Garden I hooked in April 2024. Top photo shows an Iris Garden I completed in May 2025. Keep going, don’t stop honing skills. Even if the design seems uncertain, keep tweaking and creating. It’s so worth it! #fiberart #artist #rughooking #hookedrug

Summer Solstice 🌞

My favorite month is just around the corner, and creating a vivid meadow against a yellow sky seemed like a great way to welcome the month of June and the Summer Solstice.

Let art be your voice
to transform ideas and solve problems through open-mindedness. Make art to communicate ideas and changes for social or political reform. #fiberart #art #fiberartist

No matter what …
Keep creating. Maud Lewis is a wonderful inspiration to create, no matter what the circumstances. If you are finding it hard to create during these difficult days, I recommend watching the 2016 movie about her life and reading this book. #maudlewis

It’s a process …
There’s a beginning, a (long) middle, and an end. Enjoy the flow where all the spontaneity and magic happens.

Just made my 1st sourdough boule from a 225 yo French starter. I took an informative class from Bodhi Tree Bakery in Littleton, CO. You can find Taylor on IG. #boule #sourdough #bread #bake

Somewhere…
there is a place where the purple mountains meet the meadows and one tall tree stands alone, but strong and defiant. #rug #textile #fiberart #tree #hookedrug #rughooking #hookingrugs #create #wool

My book recommendations that help us focus and enhance our wellbeing. I read & journal every day. When I am at peace, I can create. The act of creating only enhances my mental wellness because my mind and hands are focused on what I’m making.

To Begin …
can be the hardest part. I tend to peruse through photos from my hikes & the many books on my shelves. It’s the most daunting part of creating a rug for me. But once I get started, it’s hard to stop me. #rug #mat #fiberart #textile #maggiebathoryart #hookedrug #rughooking #hookingrugs

Peonies in Spring; my most recent work. At 12x13 inches, it’s small in comparison to the larger rugs I make. I’m always drawn to vivid colors that make me happy. #rug #fiberart #hookedrug #rughooking #hookingrugs

While I’m making my rugs, the colors & shapes blend together & there aren’t distinctive lines delineating the motifs from each other & the background. I have to step back & look at my work from far away; then the design makes sense. #fiberartist #rughooking #hookingrugs #hookedrug

Rhythm. What’s your rhythm when it comes to creating? Do you create when there is available time, or do you have a dedicated time? There’s no right answer. This hopefully plants the seed to think about your approach to creating, so that it is a part of your day. #rughooking #hookedrug #art
