Back from a Four Day Hook-In
at Rothesay's Villa Madonna retreat centre.
Women from our province and Nova Scotia came.
We were fed too well- three meals a day, plus three snack times, plus
a daily apps and wine time.
Oh dear, no wonder the pants are tight.
There were drawings for prizes, 25 person games of Left, Right, and Centre,
a vendor, and the most beautiful patterns being hooked up.
I won one game of Left, Right and Centre and got 75 pieces of wool!
Nice bright room with friends.
Quite a happy mess by day 3.
Wine in the foreground and a William Morris design in the background.
I didn't take more photos of what was being hooked as folks
seem more private these days with sharing.
Here is how far I came with the Guardians of the Orchard rug:
All done but the border.
But I started another there as I was tired
of working on Guardians...
This is from Pat Cross' book, Simply Primitive.
Can you make out the two birds flanking the centre cat?
I'm mimicking her colours which are khaki and black.
Period.
Love, love the simplicity.
We had 9 inches of snow whilst we were hooking.
It's cozy and snug being snowed in when you are where
you want to be.
Hope your Valentine's Day was filled with love and good
remembrances of loves gone now.

Enjoyed the photos you did share. Sounds like you had a magnificent time at that camp. I do have Pat Cross' books and like her primitive style ~ you certainly do her justice!
The one thing about rug hookers is they are usually well fed and just all around great people
Cathy
LKooks like you had a fun time. Congrats on your wool win! Janice
I believe I have the Guardians pattern and I also have the Pat Cross book.
Your hooking is wonderful.
Congrats on the wool win. More wool is always good 😊
Like Cathy said, hookers eat well and are just nice to be around.
Wow! What fun!
And more wool, too! Awesome three days!
And in the middle of winter,,, even better,,,
Take care,
Thanks for sharing,,,
I love pat cross books, too,,,
Looks like a great place to have a hook-in! While hooking is enjoyable, it is always nicer to hook with friends....and some tasty (already prepared) snacks! Congrats on your wool win! :-)
There is a pic of a bag with a beautiful print- is it a one of a kind or can be bought? It is resting on the floor in one of the pics.
As I replied to Dina (if anyone else is interested) the tote bag would be a William Morris print but I don't know where it came from.His prints seem to be on everything- including underwear!!!!!
