I wanted to post some of the rugs from the rug show at the NWA Hook-in. This is hooked in a piece of wool. All the rugs were great and I loved seeing them all. This was a very big rug. I will post more pictures very soon. Happy Hooking, Vicki

Today was our August Wool Poppies meeting and it was action packed. We had to: -choose categories for the rugs we're displaying at the November Art Hop show . -put together our Chapters raffle basket for the Bi-Annual in Long Beach CA. -color plan our raffle rug for 2014, so we can start hooking it. -plan our beginners class that we'll be holding in late October -schedule members to demonstrate at our local fair, as well as the Civil War Re-enactment. We all left tired but we accomplished a lot. Rug planning: Wool is selected and sorted into lights, darks and medium. Placing the darks: Snippets pinned to the squares, almost done planning. I can't wait to see what it turns out like. Each "Poppy" will get the rug for 2 weeks to hook a portion. I get it the first week of November so a lot of it will be done. Here are pictures of some of the rugs that will be displayed at the Art show: This one is by Gail Becker and is about 24" wide and 18" high. This one is about 4' by 2' This rug is by Karla and measures 4'x3' Another one by Karla: I'm not sure which Poppy hooked this one, it is 4'x5' and will be hung on the wall. Don't you want to vacation in this cabin? This colorful rug is 4'x4'. Another geometric, 4'x3' More of Gail's rugs: This one is 3'x6' At the Oasis 2'x3' Turtles 1'x4' Bouquet of flowers 2'x3' This one is fun, it is done in a 10' cut (wide cut of wool strips) And last but not least Karla's Sleigh Ride, 4'x3'. It almost looks 3 dimensional. There are some talented Artists in the Poppies. While I was in town I bought yarn to finish my purse and leaf mat. Hopefully I'll finish them soon. I'm one pooped Poppy so til next time, Ronda P.S. Yes Keith some of these rugs are used on the floor.

my current project has been set aside just not feeling it... so now I'm on the lookout something to hook I like these colors... I keep coming back to this rug it might finally be time... ***** Mom's meds seem to be working pretty good but her desire to go home and visit her mother pretty much overrides everything we've had a few good days in a row reality says about time for the roller coaster to change course ***** my NC sister and her husband are visiting much earlier than planned only 2-3 weeks and they'll be here! a treat for all of us
The other day Judy came for a dye class and brought along a few of her rugs for show and tell. They are magnificent: Carol Feeney pattern: Deanne Fitzpatrick pattern: Carol Feeney pattern in progre…
Glad tidings we bring, to you and your kin; glad tidings for Christmas and a happy New Year! Glad Tidings Design by Lori Brechlin/Notforgotten Farm and adapted by Spruce Ridge Studios Hooked by Deb Nees, Maryland I love how Deb hooked this pattern...it's actually more spectacular if you see it in person. The sheep curls are perfect for Santa's beard and she used a bit of glittery yarn for the jacket buttons and the strap of the horn. Thanks for following along on this twelve day rug hooking journey. It's been great fun for me to post and comment on these beautiful rugs! Merry Christmas to you!
Saturday was the annual Hook-In for our Guild and since it's so close to Halloween it was dubbed our Hookoween. We met in the upstairs classroom of My Girlfriend's Quilt Shoppe in Logan Utah and it was a great day. The turnout was wonderful with about 25 people in attendance. The rug show included some truly spectacular entries. Several games of Halloween Bingo were played and the lucky winners went home with chubby rolls of wool to add to their stash. Each person received a cute mummy filled with chocolate treats. The centerpieces were given as door prizes - the cutest pumpkin people you've ever seen. Here are some random photos of the projects that were being worked on throughout the day. A huge THANK YOU goes out to the committee that planned and organized this wonderful event. We appreciate all your hard work which resulted in a delightful event!
