Raffle Rug ~

I am finally getting around to posting the Crooked River Rug Hooking Guild raffle rug in the hopes I can sell a few tickets 😁  Pumpkin Tower is 12 1/2" x 26 1/2" and was hooked by several guild members.  Yours truly hooked the background.  (It really is rectangular . . . just the picture is a little wonky.)  It is a pattern by Heidi Kramer who started our guild.  Her business name is Woolnuts.  Great name!

Tickets are $1 ea or 6/$5.  You can mail me a check or I can take a PayPal payment . . . Friends and Family only!!!  We will ship for free if you are the lucky winner.

We had hellacious thunderstorms roll through northern Ohio yesterday.  (Unrelated to Debby.)  Many nearby trees snapped off, some landing on houses.  Maybe it was a blessing my maple tree had been cut down just days ago.  Branches down everywhere.  But surprisingly not much rain.  Enormous power outages.  I was thankful to only be without power for about 5 hours.  I have nothing but kudos for the power company employees.  What a tough job.  Some areas are still without power.  A bit of a bright spot, though.  A tree was snapped in two and fell within feet of our eagles' nest and the nest was not damaged!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Christmas in July ~

Crooked River Rug Hookers guild is having a Christmas in July celebration at the end of the month.  There is an optional mat swap if you wish to participate.  I hooked a design called Marshmallow by Tina Payton from the February 2008 issue of Create & Decorate magazine.  The finished size is approximately 11" x 11 1/2".

I love how this wool hooked up for the background.

I think he came out kinda cute.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
