Meetings

Meetings are each Monday as well as the  third Saturday of the month, from the beginning of  September to the end of May.  from 10 AM to 3 PM at Centennial Hall, 288 Beaconsfield Boulevard, Beaconsfield, Quebec. 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. We host a picnic every year at the end of May. 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.

 
For this year’s workshops, please consult Events Calendar.

Exhibition

Every two years in September, we host an Exhibition over one week-end where we display our latest masterpieces and try to interest people in joining us.

 

For upcoming Show, please consult Events Calendar.
