Bling for Rug Hookers

When you attend workshops, rug shows, or regular hooker gatherings, there is usually a proliferation of bling of the pin variety. The Strawberry Hookers of Lakeland FL had an exhibit at the local library and pins were well represented along with rugs, chair pads, pillows and santas. Usually worn on their aprons, the pins are usually made of scraps from projects hopefully finished.

President Linda 1 (there are 2 Lindas in the group and possibly a 3rd Linda will be joining the group), proudly displayed an array of wooly bling.

Since I enjoy not throwing anything out and finding new uses for scraps, Linda's pins offer new possibilities for the growing "too good to throw out pile" accumulating in the wool studio.
