Bishop Inn Hook-In.....Great Time.

 This Saturday was the Hook-In at Bishop Hill Illinois. We had a great time hooking and talking.

 We had a show-and-tell,but I did not get the names of everyone so you will have to just enjoy the pictures.

 This is Sally Kallin with "Pine Inland Primitives". She is helping this young lady pick wool for her very first rug.

 The two ladies sitting are my new baby hookers.They wanted to learn how to hook so Ella asked me to get them stated.I really had a great time teaching them.

 Sally was the vender for the hook-in and boy did she have some beautiful wool and patterns.And just to give you a heads-up, she will be at Eureka Springs Rug Camp in March 2013.More info to come.

 Some of Sally's rugs.

 There is Ella in the purple. She is the one that puts on the Hook-in in Bishop Hill.

This Saturday I will be vending at the St. Louis Hook-in. It is taking place at the Kirkwood Community Center,111 S. Gryer Rd. Kirkwood, Mo. 63122  You can get more info from Donna,Maria and Nina at www.thewoolyloft.com  or 314.422.7771


Live Deeply and keep hooking,

How I Spent My Weekend....Hook-in at Bishop Hill Illinois...

 This weekend I got to go to a hook-in at Bishop Hill, Illinois.This was the first year for this Hook-in and we all had a great time.Here is Ella overlooking things as everyone arrived.
 Ella and her hubby Frank own "Prairie Arts Center" in Bishop Hill and what a cute shop it is.They sell all handmade things.Jeffrey Goard is the potter at the shop and I would like to say a big "think you !" to Jeff for the door prizes he gave for the hook-in.I won a fantastic coffee mug and I am drinking coffee from it right now.

 I know Ella's daughter Sherry was a big help to her mom in getting everything ready for the Hook-in.It was great to finally meet Sherry.

 Lots of hooking was getting done.

 Janice from "The Rug Hooking Store at Black Horse Antiques" was the vender for the Hook-in and a lot of shopping and planning of rugs was going on.Thanks to the sales team for all the help you gave everyone.

 I do believe there was more talking done then hooking, but isn't that what a Hook-in all about.

 The store had some great things to look at and beautiful wool too.

 Ella had a new pattern to buy wool for.Here you can see a big group effort in color planning Ella's rug.

 Here is a few rugs that being worked on.

 This hippo was wonderful. I don't think the colors are showing as good here as they looked.

We all had a great day and it even snowed a little.Sherry said it had to snow on the daffodils.
