Rugs, Rugs, Rugs . . . . . .

On Tuesday I went to the Mason/Dixon Chapter

of ATHA meeting.

They had a most interesting program

which I will tell you about in my next posting.

In the meantime, here are some of the rugs

at the meeting.

 This rug was a second place winner at the Maryland

State Fair and was hooked by

Barbara Twigg.

 This is another of Barb's rugs.  This one

is in porgress.  You could pick this fruit right off

of the backing.

 This adorable lamb is being hooked by

Pat A. for her daughter.  Love the background

color.

 A closeup of this cutie's face.

Pat has some work to do on his scarf and

a good bit of background to finish.  I

believe she plans to make it into a pillow.

This rug was a blue ribbon winner at the

Maryland State fair.  It was hooked by the

Vice President of the chapter, Sharon Kollman.

The picture does not do it justice.  It

is a real beauty!

 Last but certainly not least, a Christmas Wall Hanging,

hooked by the late Ruth Dietzel.

This piece is a true work of art, with very subtle

shading and the technique of the master's

touch.

When I next post, I will tell you about the

program which was very interesting and a

clever idea.  I also have pictures of the

event.

In the meantime, it continues to be cool here and

rainy.  This is great hooking weather.  I now have a

good book on DVD which I am sure will

expedite my hooking.  I have finished the lion and am

now working on the background.  I also am

collecting all sorts of green plaids and checks

for the leaf border.

Hope everyone is having as good a week as

I am having!  Keep those hooks in motion!
