Back at home, the battles of cat vs dog
|
 |
| continue. |
After not meeting in person for 3 years, the OHCG annual show and meeting is "in person" this year! Heather, Pam, Sue and I drove down to the Best Western Lamplighter Inn, in London, on Friday afternoon
 |
and set up the display for J.J. Ruggers. We had more than we anticipated and couldn't increase the space we were allocated so ended up with a jam packed booth.
|
Heather and I helped with the show photography. Every piece being displayed had to be photographed twice (once with the identifying numbers attached and once without) I used Don's digital SLR camera as my little "point and shoot" tends to wash out the colours in the poor lighting available in the display rooms. The photos will go on the OHCG website (when it is up and running again) and in the magazine/newsletter. After the judging had been completed we also helped photograph some of the winning rugs.
 |
Cindy also asked that we take photos of the room with the baskets and games
|
 |
All of these baskets have been donated by guilds or individuals, full of rug hooking stuff and related items (wine, snacks, accessories even a sewing machine in one). At $15 for a package of tickets (you put the tickets in the baskets you want to win) it will help raise money for the OHCG.
|
 |
There's also a couple of games
|
 |
to win goody bags.
|
Saturday morning we all went for a (rather pathetic) buffet breakfast at the hotel and then sat through the annual meeting (by laws, financials etc) and then the announcement of the winning rugs.
 |
Very excited that Pat Lawson's rug won in the Wide Cut category. Taken with my camera.
|
 |
This one was taken, the night before, with Don's camera and really not a huge difference.
|
Rather than going straight into the show we headed down to the market in downtown London. There we got a decent cup of coffee, perused the vendors
 |
and of course, bought some stuff.
|
The next post will be some photos of rugs that caught my eye.
