Rug Show Details For Punta Gorda Hookin
We are made a lot of changes for the 2023 February Event!
For many years we were just the "Hookin" The last few years our vendors and attendees have branched out into other fiber forms.
While our passion still is wonderful wool, carefully dyed, cut into strip and hooked through our linen backing, We are now about so much more!
Oxford rug punching has had a huge growth, with some vendors here only about punching. They will have their booths filled with reversed patterns and hand dyed yarns!
The Ultra Punch has gain in popularity due to The Old Tattered Flag buying the company and working hard to update the image from grammies mice and fuzzy mushrooms to intricate works of art.
The Mini Punch category is like the Ultra Punch with threads or fine yarns
And we have to recognize Wool Appliqué! The quilters have discovered how wonderful wool is to work with and they are right in love with the "new fabric"
So all that being said, it only stands to reason that our "Rug Show" needs to honor and display all these categories. Below is our show structure now. We will have a beautiful ribbon for all the winners to display proudly and we know you all deserve recognition for the wonderful work involved. This last year has let us all work on new projects or finish up old ones and we hope you all bring work to Proudly share and display. We welcome all skill levels.
