A couple of weekends ago (getting behind in my blogging) was the annual rug hooking workshop at Apps Ridge. We gather each year to attend classes or Fifi (find it and finish it) at Apps Ridge, just outside of Paris. We chat, hook, laugh, eat good food, sleep in bunk beds and share bathrooms.
There are lovely trails, either on site or across the road in the Apps Mill Conservation area. Saturday was beautiful and sunny and Sunday it poured rain. So I only walked on the Saturday.

We had a class on Graffiti, taught by Cheryl Krug-Wiltse who inspired all in the class to create their own graffiti and display it in the theme exhibit at next years OHCG Annual.

| This one, on unusual, printed burlap, is to be a gift. |
The other class was a hooked, clutch purse and some were nearly completed in the weekend. I worked on the Port Dover Race rug (been working on it for 4 years) and some small pieces to take to Scotland when we go on the "Hookers Trip".

The final picture is of a huge rug/wall hanging designed and hooked by Irma Makariunaite. Magnificent!
