West Virginia - Southern McGown Teacher Training, Day 3

 Some of our evenings are full with auctions, a skit, meetings and some are "free" and we can socialize and hook. Personally I am "peopled out" by the end of the day and just like to hook in my room on those free evenings.

Over the covid years some renovations and upgrades were completed. The Assembly Hall is now bigger and the accommodations have had small refrigerators and coffee makers added to each room. Unfortunately that makes the facility more expensive too.

Steve Naftal was to teach this class but he tested positive for covid so another teacher stepped in.


Steve is a master dyer and as usual his wool selection was beautiful

It was very difficult to resist but because of the size of my stash I was restrained in my purchases.

After a day of hooking I just have to decide on a background, border and finishing.

 

More of the Fairy Tale Rugs:

The rugs that were completed by hookers in Japan were not sent, but, instead, were professionally photographed and mounted on canvas. Hansel and Gretel Cottage, 1922. Illustrator Kay Nielson. Hooked by Kyoko Nokamura.
