Holmes County, Hook In

Packed and ready to head out to the Amish Country Wool Artisans Hook in. Just enough room for me!
A perfect spring day, can't remember when I've driven this long (2.5 hours) and not been on the interstate. Beautiful countryside through the heartland of Ohio. Reminded me of driving to my grandparent's farm in Pennsylvania. Quite the contrast of where I was 2 weeks ago in Vegas! I must admit, I prefer the country.
The view from my "cabin" room - lovely!

Arrived in Berlin, with a quick stop at the http://www.countrycraftcupboard.com/. Lots to see, with a great wool room!





Booth is set up, read for tomorrow.


A great turnout for the day, over 100 ladies in attendance. Hooking, shopping and eating. Some of the other vendors in attendance: http://www.madhenprims.com/, Loop Dee Loo Rugs, Crows on the Ledge, http://www.pbpatterns.com/ [hope to have some of Marlene's patterns at Sauder].








What a fantastic display of rugs. One that sticks out in my mind is this cat & crow rug. I have never seen a large rug with so much of the Waldaboro (sculpted) technique used, beautiful job. So much talent out there.


Coming up is the Workt by Hand workshop. Can't wait for Sally, Sue and Melissa to arrive, along with old friends and new. This weekend is one of my favorites of all year. My project is done (yeah!) so watch for all the photos of the weekend!
