Gene's house blessing

Isn't this the greatest door mat!!!  Today was the blessing of Gene's house that is 120 years old.  It was a big party and had great food.
 
It was also the 1st time I was able to experience Gene's hooking room in person. I have heard about it from everyone but it was even better in person.

My girls were going "look at this... look at that" I just stood there with my mouth open in awe.  Finally after I was able to move again, I started taking pictures of everything so I could study them more later.


These shelves on the top had several large partially finished rugs that look amazing.  I refrained from opening them, but I need to go back and ask Gene if she will show them to me. 

Finished projects...
Wool, wool and more wool it was heaven.

One thing that was upsetting to me was her Mother's unfinished quilt tops stacked upstairs... They are beautiful and screaming "finish me".  I wish I had the time to help her get these backed and quilted, but I don't. So I need to convince her of the importance of getting these finished. Maybe be she can talk one of the local ladies in the quilt guild to help her complete these beauties.
