Adirondack Rug Hooking Retreat at the Whiteface Chalet



Adirondack Rug Hooking Retreat 2010
Whiteface Chalet Wilmington NY

 I have started to loose track of how many rug hooking classes that  I have taught throughout the North Country.  This had to be one of my all time favorites though. ( I am second from the right holding up a new Maud Lewis I started).

I feel confident to say that everyone who attended the Adirondack Rug Hooking Retreat this past weekend had a great time. The spacious Whiteface Chalet in Wilmington was inviting, comfortable, and provided excellent work space for our hooking needs.

Hookers - yes Hookers! Hookerpalooza, Happy Hookers, Hooking School - there are lots of great jokes that come with practicing the craft of rug hooking.  We laughed a lot.

Everyone arrived safely by plane and car with good weather. We began our retreat fireside with appetizers and wine. 

Saturday we headed for the classroom to start our class.  I brought lots of wool and supplies for the retreat. 

Dee's Snowman just needed a few loops to finish.

Dee brought a hooked piece that needed just a few loops finished and look its complete!

Here is Andrea -  a multi-tasking hooker!

Looking for that perfect piece of wool! We had a great time getting to know each other and learning more about the craft of hooking. Everyone had a different subject matter to hook and shared their interest for their interest in hooking.

I had a wonderful time at the Whiteface Chalet.  Rona provided us with yummy home cooked food.  Her pizza was to "dye" for! That is a hooking joke.

If you weren't able to make this hooking retreat but would like to take part next time or learn to rug hook now, please email me at Libertyfibers@aol.com.   Thank you again to Rona, John and Kelsey at the Whiteface Chalet and the ladies who traveled to attend.
