Early in April for the past nine years fiber enthusiasts have traveled to Hampshire County, WV for a weekend at Peterkin Camp and Conference Center. Anticipation of renewing friendships, flashes of pinks from native redbuds along Route 50, and pulling loops until midnight energize us.
This year the weather included snow! We also had rain on Friday and bright sun on Sunday to travel home. In past years there has been hurricanes, tornadoes, and a full weekend of very warm sunny weather. Mother Nature is fickle in April in West Virginia.
We worked away on a wide variety of rughooking projects. Many of which will be works in progress next year too – they are quite intricate.
- Helen Vance at work with #2 cuts
- Lori LaBerge discussing landscapes
- Beth Tembo’s design and inspiration for coloring
- Separated values
- Pulling loops
- Karen Larsen’s Goose and the internet
Too quickly the packing began and vehicles headed north, south, east and west filled with memories of conversations and visual fun.
Join with a friend or two and pull some loops soon, your mind and work will benefit.
