Last week we had the distinct pleasure of meeting with Julie Hughes who is a conservator at the Museum of Civilization in Hull......we couldn't have met a more engaging, informed and interested person than Julie. She just took us under her wing and helped us find a way to finish off our rug in a professional and unique way especially for the purposes of it being a wall hanging. She embraced us literally and figuratively and we all came away from our little meeting absolutely full of ideas and information. We have promised her we would keep in touch and inform her of our progress. It was a "wow" day.
We also took the opportunity to attend the "Heart and Soul" Exhibit that is currently on display at the Museum. It is Quebec folk"art" and there were many hooked rugs on display so if you are in the Ottawa/Hull area you might want to drop in and see the exhibit.
Thank you to Pam Langdon for this extremely valuable connection. Pam is another wonderful rug hooker, teacher and woman. Pam will be teaching at the Trent School of Rug Hooking June 2009 and will be featuring``Mad About Maude`` Lewis that is. The paintings by Maude Lewis lends itself very well to rug hooking with her bright colours and themes of every day living.
