Olde Forge Hook-In 2025  By Joanne Th.    April 12, 2025 We were invited to the Ottawa Olde Forge Hook-in on April 12, 2025.  A group of us from our guild participated in this fun day.  The Ottawa hook-in was lovely and so well organized.  We were greeted at the door by a few of their members and we each received a mug rug hooked by the Ottawa Olde Forge members, included with a few goodies in the bag.   Each participant received a welcome gift. Great time to see friends from other guilds. Happy friends together. There were so many talented rug hookers as we saw at the Show and Tell from various rug hooking guilds. There were about 100 rug hookers at the event. Show and Tell – Chris and her Jazz Musicians rug. Show and Tell – Helen and her Christmas stockings. Show and Tell - Joanne and progress with her Maud Lewis rug.  Show and Tell - Leslie and her big mat.   We also had the opportunity to shop as there were 2 rooms filled with vendor...

In Memory of Debra Séguin (April 3, 1960 - June 21, 2026) Respectfully submitted by Sylvia Solomon Debra Séguin (1960-2026) My friend Debbie was kind, generous, honest and fun. She loved her church and got great comfort from it. She loved her family and was so proud of her grandchildren. I will miss her at rug hooking on Mondays and trying new restaurants for lunch. Rest in peace my friend—I will never forget you. Sylvia Link to  Debbie's obituary *** Debbie joined the Beaconsfield Hooking Crafters Guild in 2003, while continuing her nursing career.  She volunteered as President from 2004 to 2005. Always smiling, she made everyone feel welcome, offered great ideas, and participated in all our guild activities including our yearly Fête nationale booths.

Our Annual Picnic Centennial Hall, June 7, 2025 Photos courtesy of Laura This year’s picnic was another resounding success! Thank you to several dedicated husbands who arrived early to set up tents and carry tables and then returned in the afternoon for take-down. Sixty-five enthusiastic participants gathered, reconnected with friends, and were inspired by the creativity on display during Show and Tell. Guests came from near and far to join our members, making for a truly impressive turnout. We were joined by Brome County, Martintown, Montreal West, North Hero, Ormstown, Ottawa, Pointe Claire (Track2) and Thousand Islands/Brockville. Though we were initially concerned about the air quality warnings due to smoke from forest fires, the air was fine in time for our gathering. Attendees enjoyed a lively paper bag auction, several door prizes, a 50/50 draw, plus our vendors Dawna, Isabelle and Jacques offered tempting wares of all kinds for rug hookers. The food was generously supplied by o...
