Meetings
Meetings are each Monday from 10 am to 3 pm at Centennial Hall located at 288 Beaconsfield Boulevard,
Beaconsfield, Quebec. The
first Monday of the month is a business meeting followed by a regular hook-in where the members exchange
ideas, tips and recipes. The other Mondays are all regular hook-ins and "Show
and Tell" where members present their recent work. The Guild
provides cutters to be used during the meetings.
Fund raising
We have auctions from time to time throughout the year of wool, kits and other supplies. Members can bid. The items are donated by members or friends of our guild
to raise funds for our organization as well as giving donations to various charitable organizations on the West Island.
Social Events
Our guild always gives a demonstration
on Heritage Day in June on the grounds of Centennial Hall in conjunction with the City of Beaconsfield. Every year a picnic is hosted by us or by another rug hooking club. We hosted the 2005 and the 2007 picnics.
It is always a very popular event by the shores of Lake St-Louis lasting the whole day. As well, on the first Monday of December we have a Christmas luncheon. We also have a mid May luncheon to mark the end of the hooking
season and the beginning of summer.
Rug Hooking Library
In Monday meetings you have access to our library of books and magazines in which you will find plenty of information
about rug hooking. We are suscribed to Rug Hooking Magazine and the Guild continuously buys rug hooking
books and magazines.

Courses and Workshops
Our guild has two wonderful
experienced teachers,
Lois Morris and Judith Dallegret.
We try to offer new courses each season. You can learn the different dyeing techniques, how to shade flowers, how to create your own patterns, how to transfer existing patterns on a background, how
to finish your work (binding
and whipping) and all there is
to know about becoming a rug hooking fiber artist.
