I had the blessing of going to a hook- in this past weekend.
e 
That would be my sweet hooking buddy and roommate on the right working on a gift rug with another amazing rug hooker.
This is what my roomie was working on for herself, a pretty great job!
Since I did not get permission to post the other rugs displayed. I am showing you the antique one that someone bought for 2.00, a very good buy.
It was snowing on my trip to Maine but the next day was sunny, windy but still nice. I took a bit of a walk. Where we stay use to be a shaker community at one time. It has changed into lots of different things and now some of the buildings are a homeless shelter, food pantry etc. But also a working orchard. those trees are old look how thick the trunks are I would love to return when they are in bloom.
The Mary statue/alter was hidden in the woods with trails going to it very peaceful.
This isn't really a little pond it is run off from the area so I am sure it drys up in the summer but nice all the same.
This was the rug that my roomie was working on as the gift, very nice.
And this sweet girl is full of so much fun! I enjoy her so much. She thinks all hookers need sheep pasties! Hummm I don't know about that.
We had wine and Massages, and more food and goodies than we needed. We laughed until our stomachs hurt, and yes there was some hooking going on. I learned several new things from the others and made the trip home feeling blessed that I have this wonderful craft in my life.

Have a great week!!!

That hook-in sounds like a blast. I'm so glad you had this weekend getaway to have fun with like-minded ladies. A good belly laugh is as good as any medicine after such a long and snowy winter. It's nice to know that you take time to enjoy life little blessings now and then. I need to retire and do something like that. It's all work and no play makes me a dull Julia. lol
Hugs, Julia
What a fun weekend. Hookers know how to have a good time :)
LOVE the sheep pasties!!!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend and great ladies to hook with.

Good for you. We all need to nourish our mind and soul with great times .
Oh, how much fun. I would just like to walk around that area.
I do love the Communion rug!!
Sheep pasties...she sounds fun! Janice
I was thinking while looking at the pic of the ladies hooking that it must be pretty quiet and peaceful at those events...ha! I guess I would be wrong! Sounds like you had a really great time with fun gals to share talents with. Beautiful rugs! Hope your weather finally gets warm and no more snow! I'm so over it!
Hook-ins are so much fun! Glad you were able to get out and enjoy some laughs (and wool)! :-)
I have never been to a hook in so I am always intrigued. Lovely rugs and what a fun place it looks like. Its always nice to to get away.
