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.

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

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

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

Have creative block? Try hooking 2 8x8 inch mats using analogous colors, and after you’re finished, observe how these colors make you feel. Want to make more observations? Hook another 8x8 mat using complimentary colors. Observe the differences. #rughooking #hookedrug #hookingrugs #fiberart #art
