Quebec. This event was held at John Rennie High School in Pointe Claire. We manned a booth, with samples of our work on display and several members demonstrated as they worked on their pieces. We also invited visitors to sign up for a two day introductory workshop being offered at Le Coin Artisanal in Beaurepaire Village on October 8 & 22. We held a mini workshop on site. Participants were thrilled to produce and leave with a framed sunflower which combined hooking and proddy techniques. You can see from the smile on their faces that it was a big success!

Featured Member: Jacques Lepage Finnegan's Market Rug by Jacques Lepage Finnegan's Market By Jacques Lepage I made this rug as a gift, using the original design of the market's logo. I started hooking it in the summer of 2015 and finished it that fall. Being at the market often I was inspired by friendly faces and the beautiful countryside.  This rug was a pleasure to hook for such a nice family, who greatly appreciate hand crafted art *. I used #6 cut found wool and it measures 20"x 25" plus the frame. * Given as a gift to the Aird family, owners of Finnegan's Market in Hudson.
