Before I show more rugs from yesterday’s hook-in, let me remind you that registrations for Cambria Pines Rug Camp 2010 are now being accepted. Fliers and registration forms can be viewed and printed from the Cambria page on the main website at www.geneshepherd.com
Here is the second installment of rugs being worked on or shown at the November, Anaheim First Saturday Hook-In.
Either this is a really early Easter rug … or a really late one. Nevertheless, whenever it arrives, it is going to be attractive.
All the really hard part on this rug is done. I like the bold design.
Here is a Cambria proddy project that is being brought out and revisited as the maker wants it done before the next Cambria Pines Rug Camp. Since it only took me three weeks to do this project, I am sure she will have it finished by the next First Saturday.
This rug was just finished, well in advance of the season.
Another finished rug show on Saturday – notice the 3 different black and white plaids that were used to do the 3 chickens.
When I saw this, I commented to the artist that I thought it was one of her best rugs. The interesting mix of different wools she used to do the background is what caught my attention. I would never have noticed that the pattern was the same as last year’s Cambria raffle rug. In fact, I had to go look up the shot of the raffle rug to believe it.
Without the tip off, I never would have made the connection. Isn’t it amazing how interpretation changes everything?
Tomorrow … I will be hooking blind!

Amazing how two different hooking styles can change the look of a rug, both are great rugs. Lots of neat rug this morning. Thanks.Have always liked that bunny pattern, her colors are sooo spring. LC

What stood out with the “Easter Rug” is that if the artist hooks the inner portion in a very light background it will have alot of dimension given the dark inner border. Very nice rug. Jo
