February Rug Hooking

Our group met at the Library in Cody, Wyoming and we had two finished rugs to show. Debra finished her two cats that she started a few years ago. Katie Hartner from Woolley Fox helped her with the color plan. Thanks to a new wool from The Wool Studio she had just the right shade of pink for her bottom flowers. I absolutely love this rug!

I finished my Clover rug designed by Theresa Rapstine. The flowers a a little more muted than they show here. I used torn strips for the first time and I LOVE the look it gives. This is the cushiest rug I've ever made. I'm making her a companion right now. A purple rooster!

Debra started her Texas bag from Holly Hill Designs. It is absolutely stunning already and I can't wait to see it finished! 
 I needed find something small to work on so I drew out Maggie Bonanomi's heart. I'm going to take the light pink out. It's amazing what you see in a photograph.
 Patty is so close to being done with this rug designed by Bea Brock. It was a bit overwhelming when she received the pattern. Carrie Martin simplified it for her and helped her color plan when she taught at the Irma last summer in Cody.

We didn't get a picture of Carla's rug but she is so close to being done! It is her first rug hooking project. It is her own design and she is doing a great job!

It was, as always, a fun filled day with a group of great ladies. I know I say it a lot but we have such a good group of ladies that we hook with. I'm grateful for them all.
