Amazing News

WE HAVE SOLD THE RUG......Isn't that exciting news! We are going to have a tea on Monday afternoon to turn the rug over to its rightful owner now. All of us are over the moon but at the same time a little sad. I will be back to let you know how our tea went and any little details that I can divulge.

This is our Labour Day weekend, so have a good one.

Pat had a Little Lamb, well many little lambs......

In mid August, Laura Bozsormeny had her rug hooking summer class at St. Lawrence College in Brockville and this class was, for some, the end of many courses taken and they now have a Fibre Arts Certificate. Pat, who was in the class, made a number of the little "lamb" brooches seen above which she sold to her class and the proceeds from the sale of the "little lambs" went to the Women of the Congo. Pat is a wonderfully artistic women and a beautiful rug hooker. She is just another example of the women one meets when you do rug hooking....it is the bonus along with doing something that you love to do. Many thanks to Pat, to those who bought the brooches and also to those who purchased our flowers as well. Congratulations to all the ladies who received their Fibre Arts Certificate. We now have "sister" number 17.

Hi there,

I have been remiss in doing our postings, so much going on and more to come. Margaret, one of our more experienced rug hookers, set up a day for us at the retirement residence where she calls home and we had such a successful day. Again, with the sale of many flower brooches, we were able to sponsor "sister" number 16. Thank you to Margaret and all of her friends for making our day such a success. The residence where she lives is just beautiful, we were treated to lunch and a tour of the residence as well.
