rug-hooking - Beaconsfield Hooking Crafters Guild

President 's message

Our Web site has been created because the time has come to take our Guild into the 21^st century and because rug hooking is a beautiful and artistic way of recycling. It is an old craft from a time when recycling was done out of need. It is a craft that should be kept alive because it is not only useful, but it has also evolved into an enjoyable fiber art.

This craft or art is ideal for anyone, especially young retirees who want to live a fulfilling and active live, learning, socializing and creating something beautiful and useful with their own hands.

You don't need any special or artistic skills and anyone can do it. Don't worry if you don't have a creative mind; there is a wide choice of free copyright rug hooking patterns available to be used as well as a lot of help ideas to be had from the new friends you will make in our Guild.

Through our website, we aim to make this craft more accessible to the public and get you hooked on hooking!

A little fish with Big Dreams

The Beaconsfield Rug Hooking Web site is a new little fish in the Internet Sea. We need to feed it and help it to grow. Our little fish will swim from our club house into Lac St-Louis and he will go to the ocean of his dreams and imagination.

We are open to new ideas and suggestions to develop this Internet project. We are continuously updating this site. One month after the opening we have created a French version of this site. We also added a two sections called "Works in progress" and "Glossary of terms", as well as the Recipes page.

Members of the Guild can collaborate in many ways: adding your comments, writing rug hooking tips, sending pictures of your rugs or helping us to update the Events Calendar section.
