More Sauder rugs~

A few of the rugs from the stained glass windows exhibit from the Buffalo Trace Rug Hookers.


Remember Jennie from the blog Over the Hill and Running?  This was her rug in the Greenfield Project, based on a 1942 pattern by William Winthrop Kent.  This was part of an exhibit by Lisanne Miller of W. Cushing and Company.


Animals, Insects, and Birds Exhibit ~





Friend Valerie's rug ~



Copper framed contemporary rug hooking.  The linen was stretched over flexible copper tubing to create the shape of the rug.  Many different mediums and techniques were used.



People/Places/Pictorials ~



That face!


The Winds of Change Challenge by the Black Swamp Rug Hookers, the guild celebrated the 30th year of Rug Hooking Week at Sauder Village.  This challenge combined the symbolic windmill logo of Sauder Village with their favorite Sauder memory.





Fusion, which I would best describe as a variety of techniques, fibers, etc in a rug.


This is just a small fraction of the rugs exhibited.  Next post I will share the Celebrations rugs which were submitted by the hooker to be judged by a committee.  The best of the best!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Wow....and more wow. Such incredible works of art. All are more than impressive and many clamor for "favored" status...but, dang....that Santa face. Absolutely incredible.
