FIBREFEST…

Was wonderful! as usual… Tons of visitors both days and lots of amazing finished pieces and supplies for sale. I was located right across from the button collections and of course every button I was drooling over was $20 plus!  but ohhhhh sooooo beautiful! and there were lots that were under $1.00.

So today we are off to Scotland – haggis here we come! Have been watching Outlander so I can practise my Scottish accent – and have come to the conclusion that all men look good in a kilt!

And now some pix of other peoples rugs…

Judy’s 1/2 Folkart Farm (a Karla Gerard pattern and Kit that I sell)…

Nancy’s small Abstract Paisley (another Karla Geard pattern that I sell) upholstered to a chair – how smart is that!…

and Sue’s Bev Conway pattern in progress = check out the frogs all hooked in batiks!…

 

 

WONDERFUL WEATHER… AND ON MY WAY TO SCOTLAND …

For the last week or 2 I have been dyeing up a storm in anticipation of Fibrefest coming up in Almonte this weekend, September 13 -14. This is always a wonderful show – lots of vendors and demos and fun displays. If you are in the area or close by try to make it to this show.

The day after Fibrefest we leave for Scotland.  And the day after we return we are off to the Cataraqui Guild of Needle Arts Show in Kingston! Who planned this I ask? Must have been Gord!!!! Don’t think he looked at my agenda before he booked the flight! But I have to admit, I am finally getting excited! Sheep, wool, haggis, oatcakes, castles, sheep, sheep and amazing scenery oh and hmmm a bit of rain in the forecast – well make that a lot of rain! I think we may be growing mushrooms by the time we make it home but we have our “brollies” packed, 2 pairs of shoes and 2 jackets so we should survive.

Thought I would share a couple of rugs by friends since I myself have not done much!!!…

Ruby’s rug and the cat who thinks it might like wool…

Barb’s finished Canadian Magdalena from our fabulous class with Kathy Clark of Briarwood Folkart…(hmmm seems to me I recognize that Porky!)

Danuszia’s rug of her daughter’s Cafe in Bath Ontario where they sell fantastic coffee, treats and Kawartha ice-cream(one of theeeee best!) – this is only Danuszia’s second rug and is wonderful…

Anne’s rug in progress…a pattern by Polly Minick…

Anne’s almost finished lion coverlet rug from our Sauder Village class with Barb Carroll…
