| hi girls! |
...she was very quick to learn how to handle the hook and wool and
began hooking a little heart design ~
no one ever wants their picture taken, but that doesn't stop me...
just look at this crew turning away from me!
LOL
 |
| notice also, that Joan didn't get the memo to wear plaid? ... just kidding, I just noticed that! |
 |
| Margaret working on the binding of her first rug ~ |
 |
| Pat working on her Bunny Trail needle punch... |
 |
| Eretta working on basic hooking techniques ~ she did a great job! |
 |
| Joan working on binding one of the MANY kits she has dedicated herself to finishing and we have faith in her that she will do just that. |
 |
| little Madison hooking on her heart ~ |
I am making progress on the Scrap Cat purse....
 |
| filling in the background ~ |
 |
| liking the darker background,... |
 |
| adding some purple to the background ~ can you see it? |
 |
| many different shades and values of greens used in the leaves of the plant ~ 3 different reds used in the bowl. |
 |
| there is some of that purple!! it's a dark value, but it's enough to break up the monotony of the mixed black background and outline... plus a touch of purple is just plain fun! |
Have a beautiful Palm Sunday my friends ~

Sorry I couldn't make it, yesterday. It looks like a nice group. Your Scrap Cat is so cute!!
I'm watching a robin scurry around amid the snowflakes. Let's hope this is the LAST GASP!!
Lori,
It always delights and warms my soul to see the young ones( 8 yrs old! so precious) taking to rug hooking and working and creating with their hands! Your group is so lovely and determined! Bless their hearts!
I'll bet they all bring their gloves and mittens along next time too! LOL!!
Sweet Blessings!

Lori,

FUN !!!! I just love seeing little Madison taking an interest in rug hooking....
Goodness, 8 years old and she's doing so well. Your scrap purse is looking great and Barb Carroll thinks that purple is a neutral and should be a little in every rug. So when I go to her camp I make sure to take some purple with me.

It was a hooking kind of weekend; I was invited to hook with a group of ladies that meet once a month during the fall and winter. I put some solid time in on my second hooked project. Really enjoying it. You were my inspiration to get into it. Looks like every one had good progress. Your scrap cat is looking scrappy.:-)
Sure wish I could come and hook with you sometime....
Kris
what a delight to see all your hookers hooking away, especially your youngest friend! Loving your little kitty!

Wish I was there, just cannot seem to figure out needle punching
Looks like a wonderful time...I hope to join you this coming Saturday! And will pick up the Robin patterns then too! Quite a shocking experience to come from 82 in Key West to SNOW here in VA! Crazy!
Good Morning:
Oh you have such fun, I wish I lived closer!I am patiently awaiting Spring as we got more snow last night!

Every looks so intent on doing their work!
I love that children take an interest in these kinds of things...it's how future crafters come about.

What a lot of fun you must have together! Everyone's work is lovely and I am getting the bug to try hooking reading your posts. Can't wait to see your cat purse finish, love the colours and design.
