High Desert Studio Tour this Saturday

 

 

Pamphlet for High Desert Studio Tour
High Desert Studio Tour, 2019

Once again it’s time for the HIGH DESERT STUDIO TOUR in Albuquerque. And once again Dagmar of ZIA WOOLZ has generously invited myself and Sarah of SOUTHWEST SUNFLOWER POTTERY into her home and studio to participate in the tour. I, in turn, invite you to come sip a cup of mulled cider and chat whilst perusing the hand-dyed yarns, fabulous pottery, and of course, hooked rugs.

You’ll find us at 13701 Elena Gallegos NE, Highlands, of High Desert in Albuquerque.

Mention this post and get 10% off a rug. That’ll ensure that you and I can both buy some yarn and maybe a mug. 🙂

 

Now ogle some of the wares available for purchase on Saturday. 🙂

Fingerless mittens
Aren’t these fingerless mittens yummy? Dag made them. Actually, she spun and dyed the wool and then knitted them. So many colors to choose from…

 

Hooked rug available at High Desert Open Studio Tour
“Kleeful – Autumn” is available at the High Desert Open Studio Tour Saturday. See you there!

Ruth’s “Klimt” rug (pattern by Michelle Micarelli) on the far left won the Viewers’ Choice award. No one was surprised. Other rugs by Cathy, Mary R, Nancy P, Melinda, Betsy, and Nan.

 

More AWAG hooked rugs.
More rugs by AWAG members. There were 27 juried entries that all got in plus the nine friendship rugs. Rugs here hooked by: Betsy, Nan, Melinda, Catherine, Liz, Nancy H, Laura (me!), Kalea, Mary S, Cathy, Marcy, and Darlene.

Melinda’s friendship rug. Can you tell which one I hooked? I might add that the t-shirt strips look just like everyone else’s wool strips. (Gary takes a nice shot of his wife’s rug, yes?)
Laura's friendship rug.
And here’s my friendship rug all nice and finished.

So, I’m not sure why Melinda and I don’t look very happy here. It was the start of Fiber Arts Fiesta 2019. A success story. Thanks again, Gary.

And just like that Fiber Arts Fiesta 2019 is a wrap. Thank goodness. There was a LOT of planning and hooking followed by four straight days of work. In a few days Tom and I will rest. Sort of. We’re off on vacation. More on that later. Perhaps WiFi will be good enough to allow for some Facebook and Instagram pics. If not, you’ll just have to withstand the suspense while you wait for my photos and tales. Be back in a couple of weeks. Enjoy your summer!
