The Greeting Cards Have Arrived!
Since our June photo session, the greeting card project has moved from idea to finished keepsake:
the greeting cards have now been printed, and they look wonderful. The big reveal was at our
vernissage, October 17, 2025!
Each card features one of the rugs contributed by our members, turning our guild’s hooked pieces
into something that can be shared well beyond the exhibition hall. The finished cards are available
for purchase by members and visitors, and they will also be used at upcoming outreach events to
help introduce our guild’s creativity to the wider community.
What began as a special way to celebrate our 50th anniversary has become a beautiful reminder of
the talent within our guild. Be sure to pick up a few cards—for correspondence, gifts, or simply as a
keepsake of some of your favorite hooked pieces made by guild members.
Many thanks to the greeting card committee members - Isabelle, Elizabeth, Joanne, Chris, and
Emmy - and to Hugh, Elizabeth’s husband, for ensuring each photograph was print-ready and for
overseeing the production process.
