Sally Perodeau

A skilled rug hooker, a great organizer, a tireless volunteer and enthusiastic participant, committed and devoted to the BHCG throughout most of its history, it is no wonder that Sally has been president, not once, but twice! (1984-86 and again from 1997-1998.). It all started in 1978 when Sally saw a rug in Audrey Colliss’ entrance hall. “I was so impressed that I enrolled in the rug hooking class for beginners held by the City, and I have been hooking ever since.” Although Sally no longer attends meetings, she continues as a Guild member.

Sally Perodeau. Euclid, a McGown-Flynn pattern.




Euclid
A Pearl McGown & Jane McGown Flynn pattern
30.5” x 55”
1992

This rug was on display in Moshimer’s studio in Kennebunkport, Maine and I fell in love with the pattern. I enjoyed doing the rug as it was very repetitive with lots of neutral colours and the composition alternates antelopes, ostriches, and ornamentation. I used no. 3 cut and hand dyed all the wool. It hangs on the wall of the entrance to my daughter’s condo and is admired by all her guests who believe she purchased it in Africa.

Sally Perodeau. The Fisherman. Adaptation of a textile design.



The Fisherman
Adaptation of a textile design
12 x 24”
Number 3 cut
2005

This piece hangs on the wall of my daughter’s house. The idea for the piece came from a textile design. I was inspired by an illustration on a linen book sleeve (artist unknown). I did an adaptation of the pattern, choosing a component of the print (the fisherman) and adding the middle section with aquatic creatures, and the bottom section in reverse, as I thought it would look interesting to create a mirrored composition.

Sally Perodeau. Oriental Rug, a McGown-Flynn pattern.




Oriental Rug
A Pearl McGown & Jane McGown Flynn pattern
40” x 24”

This is Kashani Hunt Panel, a pattern designed by Pearl McGown & Jane McGown Flynn. My first love is oriental designs and I have done many of them. This one I would call contemporary, very lively and I enjoyed doing it. Except for the navy background, the wool is all hand dyed. Lois J. Morris helped me as usual. This piece was shown in the BHCG 2000 Rug Exhibition, the 35th Anniversary Exhibition (2010), the March-June 2012 Show and Tell, and has been featured as a greeting card and as an animated rug to celebrate our 40th anniversary.

Sugaring off
A Rittermere pattern
24” x 35”

Pictorials such as this are fun to do. You can draw the subject yourself or order a scene from one of the many catalogues available; similarly, gift cards are a good source of ideas. Pictorials are great for using a variety of materials. I used burlap for the sleigh, leather for the harness, old tweeds for the trees, plastic for the maple sap, my neighbour's old coat for the red jacket and some knitting wool for the smoke and some of the snow. Lois J. Morris is a great inspirational teacher; she suggests, helps, and encourages us always. Thank you, Lois. This piece was shown in the 35th Anniversary Exhibition (2010) and in the April 2011 Show and Tell.

Trip to Nova Scotia   By: Dawna Matthew While attending Green Mountain Rug School this past June I was invited and encouraged to take part in a weeklong “Rug Hooking Tour of Nova Scotia” organized by Lynn Soule of The Champlain Islands Fiber Bees. And what an amazing adventure it turned out to be! From September 12 to 18 I joined 62 other hookers on a huge bus that departed from Vermont and headed off to Nova Scotia. Champlain Island Fiber Bees Our first stop was Searsport Rug Hooking in Verona, Maine, then on to the lovely Algonquin Resort in St Andrews, NB. Next day we hit Deanne Fitzpatrick’s studio in Amhurst, NS. Deanne opened her studio on a Sunday especially for us and did we have fun! We shopped and no one dropped!!
