Wild West Rug Hookers in Denver

Three of us were lucky enough to attend the Colorado ATHA Hook In in Denver. It is always a great time with many wonderful vendors.
 Hand woven baskets by Village Crafters is always a big hit. We always have some we bring home.
 Theresa Rapstine had wonderful wools and of course her patterns, which I can't resist!
 Here are two more of Theresa's rugs on the floor. She will be one of the teachers at the ATHA Biennial in Denver.
 Judy Cripps is always the busiest booth at the hook-in. She brings a lot of wool and patterns!
This is part of the Gatherings booth. They sell Maggie Bonanomi patterns among many other items.
 Here are some of the wonderful women there. Last I heard there were 129 in attendance. Their door prizes were the wool trees on the tables. There were a lot of beautiful fall colored ones.
 Here is part of Baa Ram Ewe's booth. I always seem to find a pattern here. Patty came home  with this cute floral pattern.
Tonya also has cute benches and patterns for sale.
 I apologize for not remembering whose table this is. Very cute pillows.
 Here's just a couple of the silent auction items out of Many!
 I had a lot of fun taking to this woman and several others who sat by me during the day. I'm working on Sharon Smith's Eiffel Tower. 
 I can't remember whose table this was but it is an incredible assortment of hand dyed wool!
Patty got the pattern for this cute sheep in Judy Cripps booth.

Patty, Debra, and I had a wonderful time. On Friday we hit IKEA and bought so many treasures we weren't sure how we were going to fit on the way home but thank goodness I have a large trunk in my Taurus.

We are looking forward to next year and especially the Biennial!
