Kingwood Center Hook In ~

Katie Allman puts on the most wonderful hook in at Kingwood Center every June.  It is such a beautiful place to wander about, though the weather didn't allow for too much wandering.  Thankfully the rain can't stop the hookers :)  There were about 150 hookers in two buildings. 

 

 

This year's theme was Red, White and Blue.  We all received a wool firecracker . . .

 

 

. . . and were entertained throughout the day by Miss Liberty (aka Sue, one of the funniest hookers you will ever meet). 

 

 

Lots of good vendors.  (Sorry, I didn't get pictures of all of them).

 

Kris Miller, Spruce Ridge Studios, always has a beautiful booth.

 

 

Daisy, a pattern I purchased from Kris last year but have not yet hooked.  

I believe this vendor was Basket Treasures from Indianapolis.  Most of their goods were displayed in vintage suitcases and antiques.  What a couple of characters.

Linda Powell also had a fun display . . .

. . . and LeAnn's booth had such beautiful alpaca yarns.

Hooker friend Melissa and I shared a space.  Here are some of my goodies.

Close up of the antique paisley pendants I made.  Aren't the elephant and fish necklaces fun?



 

Melissa makes beautiful wool cuff bracelets adorned with bits of antique lace and buttons, sari ribbon, beads, etc.  Each is one of a kind.  

 

Some of the patriotic rugs displayed.  I believe the flag/soldier rug was voted to be the best patriotic rug.  Very touching.

It is so nice to spend time with like-minded individuals who all share the same love of hooking.  I had a number of people tell me they read and enjoy my blog and that just made my day.

 

I have more to share but will save that for another day.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
