Another outing this week!

Thursday I was invited by two former buds here in Florida, Jan and Betty, to attend the Greenway Fiber Arts Society meeting.  This is a group primarily of  "hookers" (got your attention, didn't I!), rug hookers that is.  But, they also quilt, weave and knit, among other fiber arts!!  They certainly were a talented and very congenial group of women!!  I enjoyed the day with this group, as well as catching up with Jan and Betty, whom I haven't seen in several years.  Thanks, again, ladies for asking me to attend this meeting!  

And another thank you is in order to Karen Duncklee who hosts the Greenway Fiber Arts Society meetings at her beautiful home! You can read more about Karen on her web site here and check out her 'products' page here, where Karen carries tons of fiber items...and not just for 'hooking'!!

I apologize for not getting the names of the women who created these pieces, but I'm sure Karen can/will share with the group.  Hope you enjoy seeing some of these rugs in progress and some that were completed, as well as some other fiber work!  Make sure you click on the pictures to see more detail!

Betty and I walked around Karen's beautiful garden area and I took several pictures for potential use in creating stencils!!  I'll post those pics in next week!

  2. Wow so beautiful! I haven't even thought about rug hooking since I was in high school! It was nothing like these for sure!

  3. I love art quilts - I have bought 2 now from our annual show... I have hooked rugs in the past and cross stitched but haven't done any for years... maybe I should take it up again. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
