They say it's not over until the fat lady sings . . .


. . . and she still isn't singing!

Sauder Village rug show ~ 2012




These two room size rugs were incredible.  Too bad the colors in the pictures are so washed out.







Guess who these rugs belong to :)






This rug just cracks me up!







The detail of this fine cut rug is unbelievable.



This one, too.




LOVE this rug!!!




Three WONDERFUL versions of the same rug.  It's impossible to choose a favorite!



Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    How could you possibly view so many in one place?? Those large rugs are fabulous and the detail on some others is so fine! I like the ones from the "guess" hooker.

    Goodness when I look at my piddling little piece that still isn't done I am put to shame at what I see here all the time.
    Such dedication to their work. Just beautiful.

    Holy Heck. Unlike the commenters before me, this does NOT make me more determined to go to Sauder...It makes me wanna stay away and pretend I can hook, or just give up hooking and go and enjoy other's amazing talent. Wow!! Some of those pieces look like photographs! That strangely mesmerizing woman with the funky hair....incredible! Not that I would HOOK that...but the talent in that piece is incredible!!!

    Lauren - I was on vacation and didn't get to look at your Sauder photos - always a delight and pleasure to see what was exhibited there - Many thanks for taking photos and putting them up for us to see. I have that clipper ship Oliver Cromwell started - it was fun to see 3 versions - mine is even different still and the color plan is more similar to my mermaid blog header. Maybe it will be finished one fine day - take care Melody
