RUG RETREAT SHOW AND TELL…

There was soooooo much creativity going on this weekend. Some of the girls had just returned from a workshop with Deanne Fitzpatrick and were working on ENORMOUS landscape rugs, some brought their finished tessellations (our challenge for this year) along for show and tell – just a wonderful mix of fun pieces being hooked. Some I cannot show as they are part of a challenge for next spring and sadly some I missed because people had to leave early but here is a good sampling of what was going on…

Diane finished her Karla Gerard adaptation that will be attached to an antique door she has…

I almost finished water in Copenhagen… Sherri was working on her Lisa Ferguson Fox and Crow… Louise was working on a lonngggggg scrappy runner… Donna’s piece from her DF workshop… Sheila’s piece from her DF workshop… Karen’s piece from her DF workshop… Susan was working on a huge DF pattern… Edie brought her Martina Lesar piece for show and tell… Susan’s tessellation (somehow her pieces always look 100 years old!)… Sheila’s lovely rug for her grandson… Diane’s tessellation… Edie framed Mom… Donna’s gorgeous tessellation… and her stash for her landscape… my tessellation… Andrea’s tessellation and moose (I think the moose is a Martinal Lesar pattern)…Sandi’s Christmas stocking…
