CAPE MAY 2023

It felt good to see Cape May and hooking pals again.  I didn't go last year since there were no primitive teachers.  This year was a BLAST!  Was finally in Caroline Twigg's class (Eagles Nest Woolens) and will have her again November at Ocean City, MD.  The class of eight (three had to drop out due to health or family emergency) made for a more intimate gathering.

Our class was in the 'dungeon' a name given by hookers since the room  is dark and requires a lamp.  But had we been in the dining hall with good lighting and other groups we probably wouldn't have felt free enough to laugh as we did.  I took many photos so will have to show them in a few posts.  Also have 'throw down' photos of rugs we started in class.

First rug from the show is a design by Theresa Kogut named Moon Dance and hooked by our classmate Leslie.  
Another Halloween rug but cannot see who designed or hooked it.  Since Halloween is just a few weeks away this will give you time to order a pattern and get in the Halloween spirit.
Below is a Karen Kahle design (Primitive Spirit) hooked by Shari.
I believe the chicken rug below was designed and hooked by Lucille (American Country Rugs)Some several of the labels were written with pencil which is hard to read and doesn't photograph well so I'm guessing.  
Beach Bums, below, is a design by Deanne Fitzpatrick and hooked by Kim McWilliams.
There were a few other Deanne's beach themed rugs in the show; these next three were hooked by Roberta Olah.  They are a hoot and can't pick a favorite.


Roberta also designed and hooked this blue ribbon winner of Elise.
If memory serves me correctly, again can't read the card, the rug below was named Crop Circles and hooked by Deb Lesher.
Shari hooked this Hutchinson style mermaid rug.
A geometric and cat by Shari also.
A pastel floral hooked by Vicki Bartkowski.
The rug below is named Horse Feathers by Vermont Folk Art and hooked by Deb Lesher. 
I've many more photos to share so there will be more blog posts coming another day.  Besides I want to sit and hook in a few minutes as ....
Happy hooking.
