Olde Forge Hook-In 2025  By Joanne Th.    April 12, 2025 We were invited to the Ottawa Olde Forge Hook-in on April 12, 2025.  A group of us from our guild participated in this fun day.  The Ottawa hook-in was lovely and so well organized.  We were greeted at the door by a few of their members and we each received a mug rug hooked by the Ottawa Olde Forge members, included with a few goodies in the bag.   Each participant received a welcome gift. Great time to see friends from other guilds. Happy friends together. There were so many talented rug hookers as we saw at the Show and Tell from various rug hooking guilds. There were about 100 rug hookers at the event. Show and Tell – Chris and her Jazz Musicians rug. Show and Tell – Helen and her Christmas stockings. Show and Tell - Joanne and progress with her Maud Lewis rug.  Show and Tell - Leslie and her big mat.   We also had the opportunity to shop as there were 2 rooms filled with vendor...

Easter Hook-In    April 14, 2025 Today felt like homecoming! To our delight, Dawna returned from her 3 months away, and Carolyn E, was in Quebec for a visit and joined us. So happy to see each other again. Some of us thought to wear our Easter Bonnets! What’s an Easter hook-in without Easter treats! A member asked about ironing a rug. And so, Candace then gave us a demonstration of how to use the Guild’s steam iron. Steam iron demonstration. Members decorated the room with bunnies, eggs, and carrots. Karen brought her homemade Easter basket of felted bunnies and eggs, and cord-wrapped carrots to decorate the door prize table. Claire brought her unique wooden box which she decorated with a tiny, hooked chicken rug surrounded by a mosaic of coloured eggshells. Karen’s Easter basket. More Easter decorations, including Claire’s wooden box, plus several of the door prizes. It was a fun Hook-In.  Happy Easter everyone!

Our Annual Picnic Centennial Hall, June 7, 2025 Photos courtesy of Laura This year’s picnic was another resounding success! Thank you to several dedicated husbands who arrived early to set up tents and carry tables and then returned in the afternoon for take-down. Sixty-five enthusiastic participants gathered, reconnected with friends, and were inspired by the creativity on display during Show and Tell. Guests came from near and far to join our members, making for a truly impressive turnout. We were joined by Brome County, Martintown, Montreal West, North Hero, Ormstown, Ottawa, Pointe Claire (Track2) and Thousand Islands/Brockville. Though we were initially concerned about the air quality warnings due to smoke from forest fires, the air was fine in time for our gathering. Attendees enjoyed a lively paper bag auction, several door prizes, a 50/50 draw, plus our vendors Dawna, Isabelle and Jacques offered tempting wares of all kinds for rug hookers. The food was generously supplied by o...
