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.

Several members from our guild drove through the picturesque countryside to visit the exhibition, enthusiastic to see the work of others and get inspiration.

Great to see our Brome County friends and their beautiful rugs. A wonderful day enjoyed by all!



Enthusiastic Beaconsfield members visit and are inspired by the exhibit.
