A Great Meeting

We gathered for our annual holiday potluck today, and i think we all had a pretty good time!

As usual, food was a big focus of the event, and boy was there a lot of great stuff.  Rug hookers know how to cook/bake (and eat!).

We also had several vendors: Karen Kaiser, Pam Duncan and Debbie Harris, with lots of fantastic stuff to choose from.

There were a couple of guests and new members.  Most notably was Liz Brock, who was a co-chair of the 2017 OHCG Annual held in Cobourg.  Northumberland Rug Hookers were one of the host organizations, and it was a busy but rewarding time for us all!  Most recently the OHCG Board has determined that host branches may have a share in the profits, beginning with the 2017 Annual!  Liz presented us with a cheque for over $1300!

Needless to say we have some ideas about how to put those funds to good use!  One of the options could be new cutters.  We're looking at :

• Townsend/Beeline, 
• Honeydoo and 
• Bolivar cutters, 
• and maybe even Sizzix.   

A decision won't be made for a while yet, but you can click on the blue text above to visit the websites of these manufacturers.

There were a lot of rugs in progress - and some people even managed to pull a few loops (not me)!  Here are just a few snaps we took - works in progress, finished and almost finished:
