International Rug Hooking Day Event
On December 4, our Guild hosted the annual International Rug Hooking Day event in South Lancaster, ON. The Saint Andrew’s Church Hall buzzed with excitement as people gathered from 6 different rug hooking groups from Quebec and eastern Ontario. One room was filled with cheerful sellers, their tables adorned with handmade crafts and vibrant rug hooking supplies. Another room displayed the paper bag auction items.
