Sauder Rug Week - Part 1 ~

I am not even sure where to begin posting pictures!  There were about 700 rugs/items displayed in the main exhibit hall.  I will try to have some rhyme and reason to the pictures, but it was hard trying to see the rugs and take pictures.

I will start with the end of the day when Melissa and I were "pop up vendors" at the Friday evening hook in.  I assumed that by Friday evening all the hookers would be shopped out and broke.  That was not the case.  Both of us had amazing sales!

One of the main exhibits was Animals/ Birds/ Insects.  

Here are some Kit and Tony rugs that Saundra was talking about in her post.

And a few more rugs from this exhibit.

People's Choice Award.

One of the guilds I belong to had a William Morris rabbit rug challenge.  I did not participate but the bunnies were amazing.

There was a Special Exhibit of Amish Rug Hooking.

These were kind of fun rugs.

I found many of the Amish rugs to be rather bland, but I absolutely LOVED this one.  It would definitely be a challenge for me, but I may have to add this to my hooking bucket list!  It is old enough to be in the public domain.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Much more to come!
