On With the Show ~


SAUDER RUG SHOW ~ 2012

What fun to see the same pattern hooked four different ways!








There were many rugs at the show hooked in a very fine cut.  I would guess this was hooked in a 3 cut.


What detail.


The hooker of this turkey said that upon seeing the antique postcard that was so ugly, she just had to hook it . . . lol!
















Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

  6. That gorilla rug looks like a labor of love but then I think that all rugs are a labor of love.

    When comparing the first four rugs, I like the first rug better as I'm not a strong and bright color person but they all have their own appeal.

    Thanks for sharing these pictures with us. Hugs, JB

  11. I enjoyed the rug show... so many blogs are showing rugs from Sauder Village and I'm still seeing different rugs. Makes me want to hurry and get started on a rug to show in Long Beach, next year!

  12. Just amazing! As I just getting up to my knees wet in hooking I am inspired by all this beautiful work! Thank you for sharing. I was very impressed with the Black Lab, you could see the feeling in his eyes. And I liked the ladies inspiration to do the turkey post card. Lovely work and creativity by all.

  15. Thanks for all the eye candy Lauren! The rugs are all spectacular, but I have to wonder who would want a gorilla rug hanging in their house? LOL! (not me, but then I'm not an animal lover)

  16. Wow, wow....and more wow. Like I said, I think it's a good thing I can't attend a show like this or I would never hook again. Such amazing talent....but I seem strangely drawn to the bird rugs as of late. Thanks, once again, for sharing....it's a great deal of working taking all those photos, uploading them and posting them....we truly appreciate you. ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin (PS - People who hook in fine cut scare me.) ;o
