BHCG Website has a new look! _ We're very proud to announce the launching of our new Website to celebrate 11 years on the Web! You're invited to visit it at http://beaconsfieldrughooking.com and browse through the pages to see the new design. After the relooking done in 2012, we decided that it was time to revamp it once again! We have chosen an elegant and clean design with a menu that remind one of a "hooked" piece.

We're constantly adding new pictures, articles and Rug Hooking tips, so please keep in touch! We hope you will enjoy your visit. We would appreciate your feedback. We have don
