Cape May 2021 Rug Show cont'd.

There were many wonderful rugs in the show and I'll start with Deb's Gossip rug ~ a design by Bill Laraway and sold by Woolley Fox.  Deb started hooking this pattern a few years ago, put it away and recently finished it.  This is the original design.  

Deb accidently purchased the pattern twice and I was the lucky recipient with her extra pattern, which I hooked 2017.  But I took a little license and tweaked it to draw birds I see in my yard.

Both Great Horned Owl rugs below were designed and hooked by Bev Conway.  This first one was very impressive and my favorite of the two.

A grouping of three hooked pieces; my favorite is, of course that gorgeous lion hooked by Christine Waldrop.

The Snowmen pattern named "Here's Looking at You" was hooked by April Leas.

Magbis Vizcaino-Green hooked the pattern below which I believe is an antique adaptation.   

There are slight similarities to the antique below.

As well as this one.

The Horse and Rabbits rug is by Lucille Festa and an antique adaptation.

Below is the Christmas themed section.  Oh no....less than 3  months away until that season.

The 4-point stars rug was hooked by Alex Mathiasen.

Wonky Americana by Maureen Berndt.

On the floor is a corner of Magdalena's Great-granddaughter's Rug, on the table is Kay's Sheep hooked by Dee Rosebrock.

Another Lucille Festa rug called Kent Road Basket, another stunner.  

An antique adaptation drawn by Norma Batastini which she named Lollipop Tree; it was hooked by Fern Strong.

I also drew Magdalena's Lollipop Bouquet and hooked it in Magdalena's style back in 2013.

A grouping of rugs placed on a wicker lounge.

Sharon Townsend hooked the Mississippi Memories and bet it is an original design. 

A mola design by Norma and hooked by Felicia Mennin

And as you might expect there ARE more rugs to show so I'm not done yet.  Think I'll sit and pull a few loops on the one I started at camp.

Adventures of Cape May Rug Camp

There were three teachers this week instead of the usual four.  Teachers included Bev Conway (my class), Lucille Festa and Capri Boyle Jones.  Diane Stoffel dropped  out, don't know the circumstances, but that meant there were 17 people in our class.  Capri had 15 students and Lucille 14; their classes were held in the dining hall.

We were in the dungeon and thankfully the only class there so we had room.  FYI, it is named 'the dungeon' as it is a dark room when cloudy outside and lights are usually mandatory to see your colors.

There were lots of rugs in the show and you will notice blue labels and white labels on the rugs.  The white label indicates it is a Norma Batastini pattern and will have the name of the hooker on it as well as the name of the design.  It was quite a task to resize the photos and name them for easy identification and to provide you with information.  

I'm picking the rugs in alphabetical order as saved on my flash drive. Up first are two designs by Norma Batastini; the first one is hooked by Kathleen Bauer and the fish by Lea McCrone. 

American Buffalo hooked by Nancy Shaffer.

Next is a design sold by Spruce Ridge and hooked by Deb Nees all ready for her daughter's nuptials July 30, 2022.

Antique Rooster was hooked by April Leas, it was fun to finally meet someone whose name I see often on Facebook.

Barnyard was hooked by a classmate Janet Goodman.

Bee Skeps hooked by Katie Kriner of The Bee and the Bear.

This is Deb hooking in an almost empty classroom with her N-95 mask and after being vaccinated.  She wanted to be extremely careful about not getting Covid since she is taking care of her daughter's infant child when she sees the doctor for her 6 week check up....tomorrow (Monday).

Down Peacock Lane hooked by Magbis Vizcaino-Green.

Top rug below is Eagle Welcome and below that is a Magdalena Briner Eby design called Lititz Hens.

A Norma Batastini design named Fish Mola.

I've managed to go thru the F's so will save some rugs for another show.  Believe me there are many more rug photos and also some in the throwdown.
