Prairie Harvest Rug Hooking School was so much fun...it seems that when like minded people get together you can literally feel all that positive energy swirling about. There were all ages and abilities & everyone was more then happy to share their expertise. I met so many wonderful people & learned so much from all of them...it was truly an experience that I will never forget. This was my first year at rug camp & I believe it will not be my last...I will definitely be coming back next year.
Susan(ME) & my instructor Beatrice Grant, she taught us techniques in Traditional Primitive Rug Hooking. Bea was the best instructor, warm,inviting with years of experience to share with us.
Below is my my friend Heather who took the beginners class. As you can see from that smile...I think she is in rug hooking heaven...
The two photos above are pictures of our Traditional Primitives class, everyone is busy hooking, cutting & color planning. Lots of chin wagging & laughter was had by all.
Above is a photo of the dining hall...we were given fresh veggies from the monk's gardens, as well as the best made from scratch cookies at coffee time & to top it all off ...who could ask for more...but a little Abby school shop with an espresso machine...lattes & rug hooking, what could be more perfect.

I found your blog a joy to browse, and want to say I really think your little micees are the cats meow;o) I'm just learning to punch needle and maybe someday do some rughooking. I am impresses with the many talented rug hookers I've run across on the internet. Carol
