How exciting!!! Maria Barton~Star Rug Company wrote a 6 page article about Primitive Rug Hooking Group Cyber Rug Challenge in the March/April/May Rug Hooking Magazine. Maria graciously headed up a rug challenge on PRHG. She provided 2 rug hooking patterns that she designed to choose from, a sheep or snowman. 40 members in PRHG signed up for the challenge. Each member sent 200 strips of wool in bundles of
5 to Maria. She in turn sent back 200 strips bundles of 5 to each person. It was very challenging because of all the different colors, lots of different sizes no.4 to no.9 and some wool yarn thrown in the mix. Each hooker had to use all the colors. No cheating and dyeing the strips.
As everyone finished their rugs they would send their pictures of their rugs to Betty~primitivebettys and she set up albums for the 2 categories in Photobucket. The pictures of the rugs were numbered with no names attached. Everyone in PRHG voted and prizes were awarded to the top 3 in each category. THANK YOU Betty for posting all the pictures in the albums.
The magazine article has the pictures of the top 3 winners in each category.
A big "THANK YOU" to Maria Barton~Star Rug Company for all your hard work putting this together.
Also, in this issue of RHG there is an article by Wendy Miller. She is a PRHG member and has a very nice pattern in the magazine.
