10th Annual Denver Hook-in

The 10th Annual Denver Hook-in..... A great time was had by all!

Below are pictures of the rug show - all rugs that people brought to share! Wow!!! Talk about a room full of inspiration and talent!!

My camera battery decided it just wasn't up to more pics, when I was about half way through the room :( So I real quick snapped several pics in groups, instead of individually!! I don't have the names on many of them - just can't make them out on the bigger pictures. So please.. if you know who hooked these with no names, email me and let me know and i will get their names on them asap!!

I hope you enjoy the picture show!! None of the pics do the actual rugs justice though!! :(

Hookin'... shoppin'... eatin'... gabbin'.... and yes.. even chocolate!!!

Can it get any better???!!

These are pictures of the floor in the Rustic Rugs booth. Judy Cripps had all her rugs laid out in front of her booth - GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!

Aren't they all adorable?!! Just like Judy herself!

This year they honored a Colorado Hooker for her amazing artistry, caring giving and sharing attitude, and just all around sweetness!! The above picture is about when my camera decided to say it was on it's last life - of course! All of the above rugs in the display were designed and hooked by Cheryl Bollenbach. (I have a copule shots of the Eve rug from another event - and NO picture can do this rug justice!!! I will share them in another post - perhaps tomorrow? You will be AMAZED at what she did on this rug!! Just wait till you see!!) I'm just thrilled that Cheryl received this honor! She soo deserves it!!!! :D

The chickens in the top of the pic were hooked by Kristie Meuller, and i 'think' the little horse was hooked by Julie Crotty, and Judy Zelenski hooked the darling hedgehogs.
