Rug hooking and Dallas

It's been a very busy few weeks.  I began March with a fun week of rug hooking.  Sally Kallin is very well known in the world of wool.  I was able to get into her workshop in Eureka Springs.  Here's a few of her rugs (wish they were mine!).  I chose to hook an autumn purse during the workshop.  As with all new endeavors, I'm terribly slow and awkward.  As soon as I have more to show, I'll share my purse. 

A few days after I returned home, I packed up with Sew Graceful Quilting for the Dallas quilt show.  It seems like no matter what time we leave for Dallas, we always seem to be running late. We arrived shortly before 3:00 and had to be out of the convention center by 5:00.  We've got our work cut out for us.

You can see the neighbors on either side were already set up and had left the area.  The booth is 10' x 10'.  Thank goodness we had packed chocolate to keep us going!  Here's the after photos of the booth.

We arrived early the opening morning to hang pricing on the quilts and were ready for 3 fun filled days.  I'll share photos of some of my favorite quilts next time.
