Great show !!! Love what you have done and the accomplishments of your group over the last 45 years . We are in a similar situation this year but do not have a website . We have managed to create a PDF of a 40th Anniversary Show to send out and then got that printed into a small keepsake book , which we are pleased with . Thanks for sharing and inspiring other hookers . I will be letting our group know about this . Ursula

The web-site is excellent. Love the statement ‘hungry for more’. The work of the hookers is exquisite! Sarah’s shoes is such a great idea and will be cherished by her forever. The September rug really spoke to me, love the colours! And each and every other one was truly amazing. Do I need another hobby? No no no but I sure might in the future. Love the virtual armchair show. Great work! Thanks for sharing.

Outdoor Poster Exhibit    July 22, the City of Beaconsfield’s “Happy Hour by the Water” event marked the official opening of our outdoor poster exhibit. Almost 900 people showed up for the concert and also viewed the poster display. Julie Poirier-Monette, co-ordinator for Beaconsfield’s cultural life, announced the poster exhibit to the public and read out a heartfelt message from our Guild thanking the City for creating this beautiful poster display of our work and inviting those drawn to our craft to visit our website and Facebook page and join us in September for Monday meetings.   Panels 1 and 2. Photos courtesy of Emmy Maten. As one tours the exhibit, the first poster describes our Guild and its history, and shows our Centennial Hall Tile rug, which is currently hanging in the Beaconsfield Library. The posters which follow display some of our members’ rugs (chosen by the photographer) and various rug hooking techniques. Panels 3, 4, 5, 6. Photo courtesy of the City of Beaconsfield

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!!

We were spared the rain of some surrounding areas as the sun shone down on us! A beautiful setting to hook with friends Everyone was very generous towards our fund-raising for the Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. There were door prizes for everyone. Show and Tell time is always so inspiring - the pictures say it all. Pictures by Dawna Matthew. Guild Vendors tables: Isabelle & Jacques, Dawna.
