Sally Kallin from Pine Island Primitives came to Millersburg, Ohio to teach a class. I love her fragmented rugs, but that's a whole other class. From my understanding, it's a secret technique that only Sally teaches and once you take the classs you agree you will not share the technique.
I had decided to hook one of her patterns, but had trouble deciding on which one. I settled on Sweet Home because I loved the border, but I'm not in love with the words sweet home. I asked Sally to change the words to an American flag. Then hooked it with very dull colors. My favs.browns, tans, blues, reds, and pink. I love how it turned out.
A big shout out to Lauren, of Rugs and Pugs blog. She got me in to the Millersburg group. I had recently moved back to Ohio and had fallen out of the Ohio hooking world. Due to covid there was an empty spot in the group. So now, once a year I get to go to this great hooking event in Amish country. Thanks so much my friend.
This week is the big show at Sauder Village. I was supposed to go with a friend, but she had to cancel due to illness. I just did not feel like driving the 2 1/2 hour drive each way. I'll look at it this way, look how much money I saved by not going. I don't need any more wool, nor do I need more patterns, but there's always goodies that I want to come home with me. My craft room is a total nightmare. Since I used to spend half my year in Ohio and the other half in Georgia, I had craft supplies at both houses. Then I sold my Georgia house. I had as much quilting, hooking, and stitching stuff in Georgia as I did in Ohio. And now I'm on overload with "stuff". At least now I'm back to using some of it.
Have a wonderful week.
Sue
