Show & Tell / Sally Perodeau

In Memory of Sally Perodeau (October 10, 1933 to October 3, 2024) Respectfully submitted by Emmy Maten Sally Perodeau (1933-2024) We are saddened by the recent passing of one of our founding members, Sally Perodeau. In 1978, she joined the Guild which was just three years in existence at the time. Sally was keen to learn how to rug hook after being inspired by seeing a friend’s rug. She became a skilled rug hooker and made many fine and beautiful rugs, usually using narrow cuts of wool which allows more precision and detail. Sally was a wonderful organizer and was generous with her time and energy. She was the Guild President twice, from 1984-86 and again from 1997-98 and remained an active member until about 7 years ago. Our Guild member Jacqueline Bouchard helped Sally with her garden and has memories to share. “My precious memories of Sally are her culture, great family values and her love for beauty. Her garden was especially a source of joy to her every day, through the window whe...

Show & Tell / Nancy Thompson

In memory of Nancy (Farnam) Thompson (1947 - 2024)  Respectfully submitted by Emmy Maten Nancy Thompson (1947-2024) The guild was saddened to learn of the recent loss of Nancy Thompson, member of our guild since the early 2000’s. Our guild member Cathy was a good sailing friend of Nancy’s and introduced Nancy to rug hooking and the Beaconsfield guild. Judith became her rug hooking teacher and helped her with most of her rugs. Nancy is remembered as generous, caring, giving, discreet, upbeat and happy. She had a good sense of humour. From 2019 to 2022, Nancy was an excellent secretary for the Beaconsfield Guild. Yet she preferred rug hooking to naming and dating her rugs; In her daughter Katie’s words “she would tell you that the rugs were finished long after they were started”. Katie continues “She loved rug hooking and the camaraderie of your group; I know she missed it when she became sick.” Judith reflects “Nancy was a dear friend - she had a great sense of humour and was the sa...

Monday Hook-In, October 28th, 2024  Halloween 2024    At Halloween, our members’ imaginations run wild with ideas as evidenced once again by the wonderful and novel costumes at our Monday Hook-In. .

Kitt set the stage with a fabulous, haunted house, adapted from a doll’s house. As the Swedish Chef, Kitt brought tasty but scary treats for all to enjoy. Group photo courtesy of Elizabeth. Thanks to all who contributed to the fun and those who provided door prizes. One lucky winner, Janet, was also celebrated for her October birthday!

North Hero Fiber Fest 2024 By Laura D. On the 10th of August, I had the pleasure of driving down to North Hero, Vermont, as did some other members of our Guild to attend the Annual Fiber Fest, hosted by the Champlain Islands Fiber Bees. I was pretty excited since I had never participated before, and I was not disappointed! The ladies there were really welcoming, and they organized a teacup auction, a silent auction, and door prizes with everything from wool bundles, baskets, rug wool hooking tools, punch needle sets, books and much more. In the large, packed room almost everyone was working on very special rug hooking projects. “Fluff and Peachy Bean Designs” and “Judith Hotchkiss Designs and Dyeworks” were the two vendors present for the occasion and they had quite a stash of colourful wool, hooks, punch needle yarn, kits, and patterns for sale! I indulged quite a bit. At the entrance, there was a rug show displaying multiple styles of rugs with interesting patterns, which was all put...

BHCG’s Annual Picnic  By Dawna Matthew June 8, 2024 Our picnic was a great success again this year! We had over 60 attendees along with some helpful partners who gave a hand with the set up and take down. It was wonderful to see so many friends from neighbouring groups and inspiring to see their projects during Show and Tell. We had guests from North Hero Fiber Bees, Martintown’s Wild and Woollys, the Brome County Rug Hookers, the Ormstown group, Ottawa’s Old Forge, Track 2 and St Henri along with our own BHCG members. What a great turnout. The welcoming grounds of Centennial Hall. Our lovely greeters!    Some Martintown friends amongst the many who enjoyed this annual gathering.  We were nervous about the weather, but the rain held off and everyone was fine under pop-up tents kindly supplied by several members. We had door prizes, a paper bag auction and of course, our vendors, who offered a variety of items to tempt any rug hooker. Judith had her beautiful hand-d...
