On Saturday, I attended the rug hook-in, hosted by the Carnegie Rug Hooking group of Rothsay New Brunswick. Kimm mentioned that there were 110 hookers in attendance. I can believe it because the place was packed. Lots of coffee, tea, and sweets. We brought our own lunch and mug and I can assure you, no one left hungry. It was warm and sunny and they couldn't have picked a better day. It was a wonderful way to spend part of Saturday.
I did manage to take some photos as soon as I found a place to park my stuff this time but there were so many people taking pictures of the rugs on display and we had to share the tight space. I tried to move along as fast as I could.

Wow. wow and wow again. There are some truly amazing rugs there. thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic rug show and excellent hookers. That ocean rug looks like a photo of the ocean! The horses looks like a photo too. Have a question about the Ukraine Sunflowers ~ were the petals of the sunflower painted on or hooked? I will be back to look at these awesome hooked pieces again as they were all delightful and probably missed some little detail. Oh, also loved that house with the burnt orange roof.
ReplyDeleteYes, Saundra, the yellow petals were painted. One quick way of getting the rug done.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Thank you for sharing all the lovely designs. My favorite is the pair of cardinals displayed on the snowshoe. I also like the horses, beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteCarla
I was wondering the same thing as Saundra. Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lot of work putting this post together. Thank you so much. Most enjoyable.
I, too, love that Horses rug. The snow covered trees are so unbelievable!!! The hooked piece for the snowshoe is such a great idea.
Looking forward to the continuation ;-)
Wow...not even quite sure where to begin my comment LOL - all these glorious rugs!! (and more to come, YAY!) My favorite, hands down, is the horse rug. WOW! I also really like the house with the red tiled roof and, for some reason, the realistic simplicity of the basket of blueberries. As amazing as the rugs is the fact that you took so many wonderful photos and took the time to upload and post them for us. Thank you! ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteWow some amazing rugs! I have a single snowshoe not sure where it came from, but I have it set aside to try to do that with it also. I am so glad you got with other rug hookers it really does help to be around all that art around

Am not really a fan of the color pink, however in this case I do love Windflower. The horses though is the cat's pajamas! I am with you, this is my favorite one. All of that detail in the snow and trees. Just amazing! Thanks for sharing with us these beautiful rugs. Even the pengiuns made me smile. Janice
