Show & Tell / January-March 2013
In this Gallery, you can tour a selection of rugs from our September 2012 exhibition, held at the Beaconsfield Library. Grandfather's Fox - Isabelle Rollin Grandfather's Fox by Isabelle Rollin My first rug was inspired by my Mother who told me that her Father had designed and maybe even hooked a rug with a fox and flowers. Together, my Mom and I spent many precious moments trying to recreate this design. This has a great deal of 'doing and undoing' as I was learning to hook. Thank you all for your advice and encouragement. Thanks Mommy. The rug is 26-5/8"x38", wool cut no. 6. Original design hooked with recycled material from blazers, skirts and shared wool. Wolf Howling - Carolyn Ells Wolf Howling in a Winter Night-Time Landscape by Carolyn Ells I designed this mat for a course on Grenfell-style rug hooking that I took with teacher Joan Fraser. The wolf profile was inspired by my Yukon parka and by a photo of a wolf
