We finally couldn't take the separation any longer and met in Shell, Wyoming for the first time in quite awhile. It was SO good seeing everyone who could make it and we truly had a wonderful day.
Catherine Butterick, a Region 10 ATHA member, gave all of Region 10 a challenge to use our worms. Worms are the strips of wool already cut for a project and not completely used up. What we all found is the the worms actually seem to reproduce as you are using them. Our piles didn't dwindle much. I think I could use my worms for a very long time.
This is Debra's second Challenge Rug using worms. I love the way this turned out!
This is the first rug Debra did for the Challenge. It is a Woolley Fox Pattern and certainly one of my favorites!
The project Debra worked on is this large Christmas bag that she drew the snowman on and hooked with a hoop. It is so darn cute!
Jan, who is a new rug hooker, is working on her second rug. I believe she will be done for Christmas. She added a border to her pattern.
Patty was working on a Woolley Fox pattern. She used a plaid that magically made the design in the vase! She has a real knack for using plaids.
I started the top for a wooden box I bought for the ATHA 2022 Biennial fund raiser. I'm using all leftover worms for this.
This is my first rug for the Worm Challenge. It is a pattern by Susan Quicksall. I'm beyond happy with how it turned out!
This is a Janice Johnson pattern called My World. I had a wonderful time learning what works and what didn't in the background.
Seeing everyone was so much fun and we are getting together again very soon. TAKE THAT VIRUS!
