Beaconsfield Rug Hooking Exhibition, September 27^th-28^th, 2008 at Centennial Hall

Every two years, our Guild hosts an exhibition of our members’ most recent rugs.  This year, we had 53 new pieces and there were approximately 100 visitors who signed our guest book. It was held on a Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday afternoon, Centennial Hall was part of Beaconsfield’s Culture Day whereby 11 different artists’ studios were on display including our own venue.  Our pieces were arranged in two rooms on the first floor and two rooms on the second floor. Coffee and cookies were available while visitors could watch a rug hooking how-to video and/or play an interactive Sudoku game on Brenda Ticehurst’s rug. A Guild challenge had been offered to do a rose rug and/or a candle rug, so some of these were on display as well.

2008 Pic-nic

What a wonderful day in the park, er…indoors!!

Well, what a great time we had yesterday, our annual picnic in the park by the lake!  The weather was pouring rain all day, but we had a lot of fun and laughter, all indoors in our lovely Centennial Hall and we could still look outdoors while we hooked!  The goodies were great and we had all turns going around looking at each other’s masterpieces.  New announcements were made regarding our website and a lot of pictures were taken, so we all went away with good wishes for a great hooking summer and “see you in September”.
