Caraway Rug Show Part 2

There were so many wonderful rugs this year!!! The best show yet in my opinion.

Enjoy!

Simple rug, but my favorite!!!

Masterful interpretation of Christ's foot at Crucifixion by Eric Sandberg.

These three rugs are Ric Rac taught by Nancy Parcels. This is the rug I will hook in her class next year....hoping to use up some worms.

Note the flag in the background of this rug.

There were so many other wonderful rugs, but I will stop here.

Take Care,

Caraway Rug School Rug Show Part 1

I was fortunate to,again, attend the Caraway Rug School in Asheboro, NC, on June19 - 24. I have only missed one year since 2004. It is always a highlight in my year. Once again, I studied with Jeanne Benjamin. I have never done a rug with her that I didn't love.

On Wednesday, we had our annual rug show. What an amazing array of different rugs from so many talented hookers. Tonight I will share with you part of my favorites, with more posts to follow, as I can't get them all in one post.  I did my best to get legible labels in the photos, since there was no way I could remember all of the info. For those that aren't legible, I apologize .

Sweet Ashley celebrated a birthday in June....

And Jackson's Newnan Comets All Star Team came in second in the region!!

While Robert and Sara Ashley went on Choir Tour to the Midwest with Newnan FUMC. 

A busy month for all.

Take care,

Jennie

Cathedral Stars

Today I relished in the opportunity to take a quilting workshop with Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville fame. It was everything I had hoped for. This gal is not overrated!!! So many great tips and techniques.

The quilt we worked on was Cathedral Stars....

Close ups showing her amazing use of scrappy fabrics....

We also enjoyed a Quilt show of Bonnie quilts from many of the participants.

This one is my favorite.

All of our blocks grouped on the floor at the end of the day....

My blocks for the day...

And tonight I assembled all of the half square triangles.

Thanks, Bonnie! Looking forward to another quilt and day of fun tomorrow .

Take care,

Glorious Hexagons and Kids

Seems the only handwork I have accomplished in over a month is my Glorious Hexagons. Family activities and gardening have taken the forefront.

Between grandchildren activities today, I got a bit of slow stitching (hooking up with Kathy for Slow Stitching Sunday) on another hexagon.

This one is part of month three. Below are months one and two (plus a few extras).

The extras are the result of starting this project, deciding my original plan was too dull, and starting completely over. As I proceeded, I was convinced by my partners in crime, Kathie and Laura, that the originals could easily be worked into my new plan. They were right. Since some of these extras are not repeated, I am replacing a "Judy" here and there with them (since there are a multitude of Judies).

This morning we enjoyed the Newnan FUMC Youth Choir's presentation...beautiful job, Robert and Sara Ashley!

They just returned from a several state tour where they presented this program.

This afternoon we saw the final game of Jackson's Newnan All Star baseball game. They came in second in the overall tournament, and did a great job, having played three games in 90+ degree weather today.

And here is a Mattie update:-))

On Monday, Mattie kid sat for Jackson and Christopher.

Think she was pretty pleased that the boys decided to join her in her pen!!

Take Care,
