Today's Hook & Thread Society

 I finally remembered to take pictures.

There were only 5 of us today. But it's a good group. The friendships formed mean so much to me. 

Now on with the show. 

Barb brought a few items for show and tell. She does such nice work. Her stitches are so even. 

I like the homespun patchwork in the corner. These were little 1" squares.

This was a Sue Spargo class I think she said. It's a pincushion and filled with sand. 

This is Barb's current project. I love using red, white, and blues. And her colors for this were fabulous. Said they were just something from her stash.

This is Jo's current project. She was busy binding it. 

She was telling us that when she soaked in the walnut dye bath the red bled onto the white and had become quite faded. She used RIT color out to get the red out of the white parts. And the red parts definitely look more pink. I loved the faded look. Jo does not. Said she'll hook another one. No walnut stain next time. 

Sheila's eagle from the Katie Hartner class. Still working on the binding.

Sheila says this was inspired while looking out her window at a woodcock doing a mating dance. How very cool. 

Michelle picked up this purse yesterday at a hook in. She said she just had to have it. Her mom died just last month, and mom loved watching the squirrels. Did you notice the shape of it is an acorn. Beautiful piece.

And this is Michelle's current project. What a cute little bunny.

And me. I'm almost done. Just a few little fill in spots. 

And that's if for today folks. Ohio jumped from cold and rainy to a forecast of 90 tomorrow. I'm not a 90 loving type person. I like it about 75.
