The End of the Rugs ~

The Feature Exhibit was Magnificent Bugs in Rugs.  Some creative, fun designs, but something I would never hook!

Barn Quilt challenge was wonderful!

And a few favorites that I don't think I posted.

I love the quote on this one.  So true . . . sigh.

Hopefully the next post I will actually have an accomplishement or two to share with you.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

More Sauder Rugs ~

When taking pictures at the rug show, I tried to keep them in some kind of order by category.  I think I was semi-successful.  It was hard to not post every picture, but I am hoping not to bore you non-hookers!  I wish I had some accomplishments to share . . . but sadly don't . . . so here is today's show.

Many of you hookers will be familiar with Cindi Gay.  This is a room sized rug she worked on for many, many years.  The colors in person would just blow you away.

This group exhibit was titled Fractured Frakturs.

And this was the State of Wisconsin challenge.

Some of you may remember Jennie from the blog Over the Hill and Running.  

Still a few more Sauder rugs to share next time.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

HOW???

Can it possibly be the last week of August?  Time is passing so quickly it is scary 😁

The antique sale went well.  I was happy with the final tally.  Customers were pretty sparse but most of them bought.  I sold about half the total $$ in presale.  Still lots of stuff to pack away.  The two big items I REALLY wanted to sell did not go.  I bought this double school desk over 35 years ago thinking I could find a spot for it, but never did.

This dough box is poplar, Canadian origin, and HUGE compared to its American counterparts.  In my previous home it was used as a decorative kitchen island and in this house behind the sofa.  

I really need to get them listed on Marketplace.  I just want them out of here!!!

Now I need to get ready for the two hook ins this September and consignment items for a rug camp (I am not attending).  Plus a hooking class with Kris Miller and another with Maria Barton.  I really am my own worst enemy!

I will post more Sauder rugs in my next post!
Thanks so much for stopping by.

No Time ~

. . . for anything other than posting more rug pictures.  If you are on Facebook, you have probably seen most of them.

I spent the day stuffing pumpkins that will be table prizes at the September hook in.  They are stitched, stuffed and sewn closed.  Just need a little shaping and stems to be added.  Sure am happy there were a couple people there who knew how to sew.  The flunky - me - got to stuff . . . lol!

This bear rug was absolutely amazing.  Breathtaking in person.  It got the People's Choice award in its category.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
