Indiana Wants Me

Another great time was had by one and all at Grant Street on Thursday.

Once again, I went out to Linda's B & B (full service place to lay your head on 1500 count Egyptian Cotton sheets and even get a free pair of sandals our of the deal in the morning! Thanks Linda!) on Wednesday and stayed until Friday.

Wednesday night Linda and Kathy and I went to play bingo and came home losers with a little less ink (except Kathy) in our dabbers.

Thursday was the hook-in, of course, and our friend from Indiana, Cheryl, was planning on spending the day with us.  Kathy and I and Cheryl all met online through a rug hooking group and both I am happy to call friends and am so lucky to have been able to know meet these women in person.  This is Cheryl's third visit to the Chambersburg area - She has an aunt in Chambersburg  - so we are so lucky to have her spend a day of her vacation with us. 

Cheryl is always smiling!   Even telling us how her aunt's dog "ate" her $600 new glasses, she only barely lost that smile!

Kathy, http://www.woolfind.blogspot.com/, covered the day much better than I can so I will just show you some random pictures...

Cheryl doing some shopping for wool for her rug she's working on...Kathy helping her

Cheryl got a lot done on her rug -she was working pretty hard for being on vacation...

Pretty Beth was working hard too - she got a lot done on a new rug she's working on - I believe she only had the red done when she got there...

Barb was working on her quilt to donate to an organization for pregant women...

Genny and her sister hooking away (Genny is another that is always smiling!)

Genny's sister (sorry did not catch her name) showed a quilt she finished - love the patterns - scrappy quilts are my favorite...

Linda had been hooking since 10:00 - no wonder she's yawning.  Jill was actually pulling some loops too...

Nancee was transferring a pattern and picking wools for her new project... ( bet it's done already!)

Look at everyone working hard...

Jill was off picking out a new project (Something Jill does) and Kathy picked up her hooked and pulled some loops on her rug!

"Regardez-moi, je ne soient pas mignons!  S'il vous plaît prendre ma photo" 

Enough silly business...back to work

Joan was there too - So nice to see her.  She finished her "leaf" rug - So pretty in person - nice vibrant colors...

This is Cheryl's Memory Rug of a special person in her life she lost.  His name is written in the stream..  It's all done except she's having trouble with the bears face.  I'm sure a solution will come to her.  The mountains are so cool.

See I told you Linda was working hard...

Me, I'm such a slacker - I got this rug (you've all seen this before) whipped and also whipped two mug rugs.  I did manage to put a piece of linen on my frame and did no more than a line - I think I was too busy flapping my gums all day...

Jackie and Bonnie arrived - These two are so much fun to be around!

If you read Kathy's blog she mentioned Bonnie was there - Well here's proof - Bonnie was there!

And this would be Bonnie behind her new rug she's working on - the crows look great in person - lots of personality!

Always a good time at Grant Street!

Now I need to get off this computer and go find myself some motivation!

Well it's Father's Day weekend so Happy Father's Day to you and yours!
