Brome County Hookers
Visit to the Brome County Hookers September 15, 2024 Our friends, the Brome County Hookers, held a rug exhibit on Sunday, September 15, in the charming town of Stanbridge East near Brome Lake. Their rug hooking group started in 2010 and has been growing since. They held their first rug show at the well-known Brome County Fair. Today’s rug exhibition was held in the beautiful, almost 200-year-old Gothic-style St James the Apostle Church, which was restored in 2010. So many rugs to see in this small church . Susan Baker is the driving force behind this talented group of rug hookers. Susan has won several times with her entries in Rug Hooking Magazine’s Celebration contest. There is always a keen and helpful husband in every group; Susan’s husband built the wooden framework to hang the rugs. He also used tabletops, sourced from the church hall, and placed them over the pews using felt protecters underneath. Susan and Emmy. Susan’s rugs show in the background. Several members from our guil
