Les tapissiers de Saint-Henri / Saint-Henri Rug Hookers

Our March meeting was also the annual Carolyn Mungall Mug Rug Exchange. This year's theme was Monochromatic. Participants and the mug rugs they made: Top row: Maureen, Danielle Middle row: Carolyn, Kathleen, Colette Bottom row: Joanne, Rosemary, Chris I'm already looking forward to next year's exchange. Happy hooking everyone.

Hi Everyone, On February 24&25 we had our annual rug hooking retreat. It was held at Ermitage Sainte-Croix, and we were joined by several members of the Beaconsfield Rug Hooking Guild. Here are just a few pictures. Everyone had a wonderful time and we hope to do it again next year.  Show and tell on the last day. Chris's self portrait.  A group picture. Chris was the photographer. This is the view from the cafeteria. I tried and failed to capture the beauty of the sunset.

Hi Everyone, There was a lot of punch needle and hooking at the February meeting. It was wonderful to see what everyone was working on. Yannick Joanne Carolyn Lin Rosmary Kathleen Colette Happy hooking and punching.

Happy New Year Everyone. The holidays are over and it's rug hooking time. We had a wonderful guild meeting on Saturday, January 20. It was really inspiring to see what everyone was working on. There were two completed rugs. Danyelle finished this beautiful rug, hooked in a very fine yarn.  Marie Andree finished hooking this bold geometric rug, during the meeting. I'm making progress with my first real rug hooking project and started a punch needle experiment with hand spun yarns. I was too busy talking and didn't take enough pictures. The next post will have more work/works in progress. Wishing you all a wonderful 2018. Colette

I did get to go to the Williamstown International Rug Hooking Day Hook-in after all! Joanne, Margaret and I represented St Henri. There were hookers from far and wide. There were at least 65 of us. The vendors were selling fast and furiously and the soup lunch was a treat. It was a beautiful day and the drive and actual pleasure. Thank you Beaconsfield and Williamstown for your hospitality. Joanne took some pictures which I hope she shares at our Pot Luck and Ornament Exchange coming up on Saturday. Hope to many there! Chris
