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.
Live Deeply
