I am very slowly unpacking the bag of fabric that I bought at a quilt show rummage show. Everything was measured by the pound. I found this subscription packet from keepsake quilting in the bins. I thought the fabrics were so pretty. It contained 9 different- 1/4 yards.

I have created a new friendship swap for my rug hooking group. It is a swap rug. Everyone wanted houses this time. It has two rows of houses, and trees, too. We each do a house on our own rug, and then, we pass it around for everyone to hook a house on our rug, When we are done, we will have a rug with our friends hooking on it. I have made 2 or 3 others and they are such a treasure. We have a goal to trade every two weeks.  

now that I am finished with my swapping on the friendship rug, I am taking a little break to work on my Christmas rug forever project.

It took a while to find the last picture I posted of the rug. 

last time almost a year ago I think

this time

btw I really dislike hooking fences, they are so messy.

I think is the last house I need to make for someone else, and my rug has come back to me to finish. Pretty exciting. But, the real work on the rug begins. I have been playing with greens for dying wool for the trees, bushes, and grass. This house was for Jan.

Hubby and I went to a quilt show and a festival all at the same time. We didn't realize that the fall festival was also starting in the same town. I used to sell my country jumpers at this festival for years, and really enjoyed it. It was great reminiscing.

My husband really liked this piece of steampunk fabric and wanted a shirt made from it. Luckily, I don't think it is big enough LOL

I bought these odd shaped scraps by the pound. I don't usually add scraps to my totals.

I found a great new addition for my featherweight. I was at a rug hooking event, and, one of the booths had a woodworker selling quilting tools. He made a foot pedal holder for the featherweight that holds it in place, and, has a piece of wood that hits the fiddley pedal just right. I tried it and it works great. Some days, I have a little problem finding the sweet spot for the foot button, even after using it for years.

I have also been to a quilt show and added fabric. I will have to unpack and measure and fold.

I have a big basket of  cut offs from quilting. I trim the quilts and dump them in the basket. I keep them because they are substantial pieces, and, could be combined to make a pieced backing. I am lazy about working on it. It is overflowing, because if I have a big enough piece I tend to use that first. I grabbed a hunk of of them, and started piecing some together for a franken-batting. It is an intriguing sort of puzzle.

on a whim, we headed to Archibold Ohio for Sauder rug hooking week. I went looking for a blue sky for my houses swap rug. I couldn't find what I wanted in the quantity I would need. sigh  I have no idea what inspired me to take any of these pictures over others. It had been 2 years since we attended the show, and it was a lovely adventure.

I bought a bolt of fabric from Missouri star because it was a deal. I was completely surprised when it arrived on the bolt and it was a joann fabric- Keepsake calico. Apparently, Missouri star bought during the liquidation. I did not see anything in the ad that is was from Joann or I probably wouldn't have bought it. But, it is still fabric.
