Rug Show Continues.....

This year, at the show, there was a Calendar project, which I believe was the brainchild of Burma Cassidy. Several groups of people hooked a complete calendar; one rug for each month.

This first one is a group of rughookers from Montreal. The calendar is called:

Rugs From Hooked in the Mountains XIV Continues

It really is impossible to photograph each rug at the show. So, the rugs that you see are the ones that either caught my eye or are rugs of people that I know. Each time that I walked around looking at the rugs in the show, I saw different ones; this seems to be a universal phenomenon.

Another of the featured artists was Sharon L.Townsend. Here are some of her rugs.

Ok, that's all for now...My dye pots are bubbling away with samples of the new colors that I bought while at the show. I will post the samples when they are dry.

The Dogs

"Dogs have always been a big part of family life. Love of dogs came from my mother, Thea still thriving at 86 years, in El Paso, TX with Montana, a dog of questionable lineage." Diane Phillips

Notes to Myself

"This group of rugs evolved from pure spontaneity. I just wanted to play with words, shapes and colors with no known destination."
(Diane Phillips)

2009: A Hooked Blog

15 rugs 9" x 10"

2009 A Hooked Blog

"Last December, while noodling with a dear friend about daily art efforts, I got the notion to do a weekly rug. That idea morphed into a hooked diary of important events. Rugs were to be quick, unedited and personal." (Diane Phillips)

 

More to come....later...
