Cedar Lakes Conference Center is set in beautiful Ripley, West Virginia. Our weather was absolutely perfect each day. Foggy mornings then bright blue skies and warm temperatures.
My class was with Jeanne Benjamin. Of the twelve students, eight had taken from her previously . . . some many times.
My progress after four days. I always think I should accomplish so much more. To my chagrin, much of this is hooked in an 8 cut to get the detail I needed. 8 1/2 is my preferred cut. (It is hard to believe there is such a big difference between an 8 and an 8 1/2!)
Some of the rugs being worked on in the class.
This was the third class with Jeanne in which the hooker was working on one of Jeanne's patterns. Simply gorgeous!!!
Tablemate and Ohio hooker finished this little primitive kitty and started another with a barn.
Teacher Bev Conway rode to camp with Jeanne and sat in on our class. Here is the rug she was working on.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteLove your project and the colors you use are just beautiful .
Lots of great hooking projects , but that Big one will be a master piece !!! I can't even imagine hooking that !
Enjoy the nice weather , finally !!!
Enjoyed the show and of course love what you are working on. Gee friend, thanks for the visual and sadly doubt it will ever leave my memory, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely rugs!! Someday I will take a class. I love that picture of the lake. How wonderful to be able to walk by it everyday. I am so happy you are having nice weather. Lovely place you were hooking at.
ReplyDeleteYa know? You're right...there IS a big difference b/w 8-1/2 and an 8. Weird. I think you made fantastic progress on Gypsy. Like I said, perfect loops take time. 🤣 I have no words for that huge pattern of Jeanne's and the wonderful work the hooker has done. Even all 9 of my lives wouldn't be enough time for me to hook something like that. I like the rich, jewel-like colors of those 2 (3rd & 4th??) near the beginning of the "show"....Not anything I would do, but I do find the colors beautiful. And, of course I love Broom Ride Over Nantucket. Someday I might take that on. (Hope you weren't drinking anything when you read that last line.) ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteYou are a busy hooker and I'm glad you get to enjoy these wooly worm weekends. Those colors and patterns of the first group of photos are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to walk. Or sit.
Its unbelivelble, but yes, you can easily identify the difference In high quality area rugs
