April's Hooking at the Library

We had a great time hooking at the Library, in Cody. Patty, Debra, and I met to discuss upcoming events like the Shell Hook-In, which is filling fast. Don't forget to sign up. The cut off date is July! You can find a brochure on this blog or our Facebook page Wild West Rug Hookers.  We are also focusing on our 2020 Rug Camp with Cynthia Norwood, which will be at the Irma Hotel in Cody, WY. Again, brochures are available on our Facebook page under the Files section. Cynthia has decided to come out of retirement to teach for us in Wyoming and we are honored and thrilled. This could be your last chance to take a class from a Rug Hooking Icon of this caliber.

Patty completed the stool she designed for her niece.

She used the Cindy Gay template for the Ikea stool for the outline. Patty even used brands from local ranches and 4 different horse silhouettes around the sides. Her colors are perfect and I love the mixture of colors in the background. It was a wool called Big Top. 
Patty is also so smart. She bought a stool from Ikea, had it shipped directly to her niece and only has to ship the cover. I was very impressed she thought of that!

 I worked again on my heart pillow by Maggie Bonanomi. I changed up the heart and started on the background. This is my traveling project because I have started using the Cheticamp frame I made and I absolutely LOVE it. I will post my finished big rug soon.

Patty was working on a pillow by Nancy Gingrich. The wool on the outside of the flower was so amazing that Debra and I ordered some right then and there. I love technology. It is called Funny Girl.  
Debra has been needle punching lately and this Spring pattern is wonderful. She is such a talented woman!

We will meet in Shell, WY at the Shell Church on Sat. May18th. It is going to be a fabulous time so if you can I hope you can join us!
