A night to hook

Last night a few of us met at Simply Fibers

to sit around and rug hook.

Okay, there was SOME rug hooking going on,

but a lot of chattering,

checking out what everyone was working on.

Looking through pattern catalogs,

adding to our stashes from the new wools

that came in from Rebecca Erb

....running to Andy's to get frozen custard or ice tea

(meeting at 5pm is hard....

not quite hungry enough for supper yet,

but by the time it gets to be 7pm

.....stomachs are grumbling to be fed!)

In the middle of March,

my friend Renee,

had a sale and Belva picked

up a pattern from her for $10

.....she showed up to hooking and it's

almost complete and it's

totally beautiful!!!!

She is hooking it in,

I think, a 4-5 cut....

truly amazing as

most of the folks in our group

are 6-9 folks...we were in awe!

If anyone knows the name of the pattern

she would love to know.....

it was simply marked with

a piece of masking tape "#6" .....go figure.

I totally needed to be stocking the shelves

with the new wools that came in,

but instead,

I indulged,

and sat down

and drank in the camraderie of our group

......I was really needing to hook

and connect with everyone last night.

It was such a girls night!

We laughed and talked about the silliest things

and we had a visitor,

Doris,

from Wisconsin

and her daughter,

Linda,

who lives in Ozark join our group

.....what a delight!

I did make progress on Cleopatra's rug

that I've been working on.

Last night I worked on the sky.....

I just love these watery turquoisy/tealy colors

that I'm working with.

Background is such a great thing

to work on when you're just wanting to sit around

and talk and hook....

will hook more on Cleopatra herself

when I'm at home by myself.

it progresses
