Northport Loopers Rug Show Winners

 The Northport Loopers also held their annual rug show this Friday and Saturday. The variety of hooking styles and chosen image are impressive. 

My favourite display was the Brown Bag Challenge. Participants are given a bag containing supplies that they have to use in a certain way. This year's challenge bags contained a mug and supplies to create a mug rug. They were fabulous!

This year's vendors were: Donna Legere - The Cranky Sock Lady (ask for a demo if you see her- that sock machine is amazing!), Vicky Comeau Designs (all the things!), and Loopy Wool from Salisbury, NB (who may have added to my crafting stash by "teaching" me the art of needle felting).

Winners of the People's Choice vote:

1st Place: "Peace in the Night" by Mary Ellen Pottoello

2nd Place: "Grams Painting" by Barb Murray

3rd Place: "Cat Nap on a Dog Day Afternoon" by Irene Rogers

And the winner of the rug raffle was Wayne Lines. I absolutely love this piece - the colours and the geometric lines. I am feeling inspired!
