Finished My Big Rug!

When I was at the ATHA Biennial I bought this massive rug pattern from Theresa Rapstine. It is 36"x92" and I hooked it in torn strips. When we had the Hook-In in Shell, WY, Katie Hartner from Woolley Fox color planned it for me. I can't tell you how happy I am with how this rug turned out. It sure doesn't look like it's that big. Patty Tyrrell had to stand on a step stool to photograph it for me. I'm now on the binding and I expect it to take a few days to do.

 At the Hook-In in Shell, Katie Hartner was the Vendor and I bought this beautiful pumpkin kit from her. I was binding it on Saturday and it is now on my table. I am so happy with it.

New Rugs Finished

I finished two rugs after the Denver ATHA Biennial.

 The flowers is a design by Theresa Rapsting using torn strips. The paper is from the Shell Hook-In where Patty took the picture for me. I got the kit in Denver and it didn't take long to hook. I love it so much!

This is one I started before we went to Denver. It is a Red House Wool design. I am really happy with the way it turned out.

My next post will be pictures of our Shell Wyoming Hook-In so Stay Tuned!

Denver Co ATHA Biennial

I haven't posted in so long I'm not sure where to start.

In August Patty, Debra, and I went to Denver Colorado for the ATHA Biennial. It was beyond words.
The first two days I sold my necklaces and bracelets.

This was my first time Vending so I wasn't sure what to expect but my jewelry sold really well.
The Spoons have words like Rug Hooker, Imagine, Create, and Wool stamped on them. I hand made each of the rug hooks and the hook earrings and flattened and stamped all the spoons.

 My bracelets are hand woven with silk and wool threads hand dyed by me and they are attached to copper blanks.

 

Caroline Rapstine and a customer were having as much fun as I was in the Boutique.

It was so fun to see women wearing my jewelry all over the Biennial!

The Vendors and Teachers were outstanding. This picture is of Debra, Patty, me, and Martha Lowery. Meeting Martha was one of the highlights of the Biennial for me.

There were so many more vendors! I bought from all three of these. 

I will share rugs soon!
