Wool Auction_

The auction was a great success thanks to our President whose humorous spiel over the bits and pieces of wool kept us all laughing. Rug hookers, especially our new members, acquired wool for their future masterpieces.
Location: Beaconsfield, QC, Canada

Special Show & Tell : Christmas!    The annual unveiling of our traditional holiday ornaments evokes Christmas cheer to our homes. This fabulous three-dimensional Victorian-style Santa brings back the magic of an old-fashioned Christmas. Old World Santa, a pattern by Janet Conners hooked by Candace Fradette Candace Fradette Old World Santa Pattern by Janet Conners Source: Rug Hooking Magazine November/December 2020 2021 13” x 5” x 3” diameter Hooked with stretch velvet, #6 wool strips, assorted wool yarns, raffia, vegan leather, fleece I saw this Old-World Santa in the November/ December 2020 issue of Rug Hooking magazine and I used this project with an Embellishing Techniques workshop with Parris House Wool Works. It was a really fun project. I used pearls and a star to decorate the tree which Santa is holding, added a buckle for his belt, a stuffed toy and candy cane so they stick out of his backpack, and even added some eyelashes and a bow! He is three-dimensional and fits over

In Memory of Derek Morris     August 7, 1931 – March 1, 2022    Derek Morris at BHCG 2016 Picnic (Picture: BHCG Archives) .   It is with great sadness we heard of Derek Morris’s sudden passing. Husband of our guild’s founder Lois J. Morris, and also known as “Driver”, Derek contributed wholeheartedly throughout the years to the workings of the Guild. Not only did Derek drive Lois to weekly meetings, but he also assured the transport of rugs and rug hooking supplies for countless workshops given by Lois and to rug exhibitions and annual picnics at Centennial Hall. He even car-pooled some members to Hook-Ins at Olde Forge. By 2013, he had already logged over 100,000 kilometers! Derek was very proud of Lois whom he called “The Teacher”, her talents, and of the Guild she founded. For years, they opened their country home each summer to members for a picnic hook-in and Derek was most welcoming. At one of the annual Centennial Hall picnics, Derek delivered a moving tribute to the longstandin

Remembering Linda Luce Morazain       1942 to March 29, 2021. Passed away at the age of 78 in Bathurst, New Brunswick.    Written by Maureen Rowe It was with sadness that we learned of Linda’s passing. She was an energetic, enthusiastic, gregarious member who loved to laugh. She joined the Guild in 1991 and, in April of the following year, she took on the role of Guild treasurer. In April 1993, she was vice-president. Like several of the BHCG members, she was also a member of the smaller group Track II which met in Valois. Everyone knew her to be a fabulous cook and she had the best recipe for lemon squares. Linda Luce Morazain (1942-2021) Linda's Birthday (Picture : Courtesy of Terry Ballantyne) Linda was always sunny, full of life and showed enthusiasm for her projects, whether it was for real estate (her occupation) or for rug hooking. She loved Centennial Hall and its sunny cozy ambiance and was always there early. She loved getting involved in setting up the Christmas banque
