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 :)

    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

    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!

    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.

    Loved the tour of Sauder rug show, thanks. Was the Gorilla done by Jon Ciemiwicz?
    I too enjoy seeing variations of the same hooked rug.

    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)

    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
