Ta-Da!
Yuppers, it's #16in#2016 complete! Technically, I could even call this 5 projects but I'll be mature about it. One project - 5 sets of 4 Christmas coasters. Gifties for teachers, coaches, etc. Done. In November.

#14 & #15
Not even mid-November and I've completed #15 in my quest to complete #16in2016 fibre projects! One is a rag quilt for a new wee one in the family - pics after Christmas (groan, I know....sorry).
But I can share with you a commissioned piece which was completed yesterday! My client wanted a red canoe pulled up on shore in a typical Canadian lake setting. So I started with some sketching, and created a pattern for some of the elements, but as you'll see my patterns are not thorough or set in stone.
After tracing through my large window, I had even less detail on my linen.
Hooked in little bits of time here and there... made some adjustments... well lots of adjustments to be honest!
And the final product will be delivered tomorrow. Here is (insert drum roll here) "Red Canoe". The owner is a visual artist, so fingers crossed that the rug is close to what she envisioned and has wanted for her home!

Update: The rug has been delivered and the client is very happy! She even changed her mind about where the rug will live in her home. Phew!

Happy Fall Y'all
Well, wouldn't you know it, I forgot to report the most important piece! I hooked this piece to offer as a raffle prize for the event at Lulu and Lavigne Home Studio on Locke Street in Hamilton.
6 cut on linen; hung on Lake Erie driftwood. Making this #14 of #16in2016.

Update on #16in2016
So if you remember, I challenged myself to create 16 fibre projects in 2016 (#16in2016). I wasn't doing too well until September came and I had to prepare for a demonstration and sale at a home decor store in Hamilton. The after burners were fired up and well, I think I may be in good shape after all.
Looking back through the blog, I last reported Fibre Finish #8. Even if I consider the two Holstein mug rugs (see below) as one project, I hereby report Fibre Finishes #9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. You're welcome.
