Rug hooking pattern By The Sea is a delightful runner-style rug that brings that feeling  of coastal life, featuring sand, sea, sky, shore birds, and a sailboat on the horizon. This  36 x 12  design, hand-drawn on primitive unbleached linen in my Maine studio, looks fantastic above a doorway in a coastal home, showing you one way to display it. Framing would be perfect for this rug as well then you could put it wherever you want. This design was so  enjoyable to hook. By The Sea can be used as a runner or a unique decorative piece. Get this pattern, pretend you are by the sea  and maybe get some hand-dyed wools to create yours.The real magic is in the colors you use to create the different elements.
