Quilt Show: The last pictures

Today I worked on a few new projects and will show them to you next time, but for now, I wanted to share the rest of the pictures I got from the rug show. So here they are, sit back and enjoy. The rugs were on backboards and the floor, with benches in front, so it was hard to get shots of some of them.

More rugs from the show

I did up a few more photos from the show, so I hope you enjoy seeing them.
One problem was the light coming in the windows, it was hard to get a good shot on some.
I tried to see the names, but some of the tags got white washed, so they were unreadable on the originals.

Today I spent the day cleaning the house, that is what happens when you goof off all week;) I did get my office redone and a table that I can do my painting on, so glad I finally got that done. I have a few projects to finish and ones I hadn't started because I hate dragging things out and putting them away when I paint.

Enjoy the show and I will put up the rest tomorrow. Time for me to relax and get to work on much delayed projects.
This is Elizabeth Black. She did the talk for this show and she had quite a few people engrossed in her talk about how she got started and her hooking life.



I just liked the simplicity and color scheme in this one.



I like anything with kitties:)



A beautiful pictorial.



This was another of my favorites. Love the simple design and the use of colors.



I also love dog rugs. This is a fun piece. I want to do a fun folk art style of my Border Collie, someday.



I really love this one too. Simplicity and an antique look. Think this would be great in my house;)



This one is really beautiful in person, nice rich colors.



I hope you enjoyed the online show and will come back tomorrow for the rest.

Quiet Corner Rug Show

Today we went to Woodstock Connecticut for the rug show. We used the gps, not a good idea, lol. It took us down the worst back roads and have no idea why, it usually makes us go on the highways. We thought it was a short cut, not!

The show was nice, but not a huge one. There were some beautiful rugs and Elizabeth Black was the guest speaker. She does the most wonderful animal rugs and this is just a sampling of the many beautiful pieces, she has made throughout the years.



One of my highlights was meeting Linda Repasky. She is as nice in person as she is online. She is always so generous with helping others, when it comes to learning punch needle and about the supplies. She even bought me a skein of wool thread from Gloriana and one italian wool thread to try in my punch needle. That was so thoughtful of her and I can't wait to try it.

So, for tonight, I will show you a few rugs from the show and in the next days, more of them.
This set was at the beginning of the rug show, there are a lot of interesting and beautiful rugs for the holidays in this section.



The next batch of rugs are from Brenda Anderson. I just love the rugs she did and the colors she used. They are so deep and rich and so prim in person, not sure if they will be the same on here. She also has a unique and whimsical style. These are patterns I would enjoy making.
