Virtual Hook-In: August 13

Ann’s pictorial!

Remember way back in May when we were filming stuff for the folks in Australia?  We prepared a bunch of material and shipped it off to them at the start of June.  They are working on it as we speak, and are preparing something that will be shared with hookers all over the place.  I suspect that, due to the volume of stuff they got, we’ll only see snippets of our submission, but we’ll get to see tons of stuff from other folks!

Valerie’s Hungarian motifi!

I just saw a facebook post that announces the virtual hook-in will take place the evening of August 13.  It looks like it will be done via facebook, but as we learn more i will let you know what to expect.  Here’s a link to the facebook page where they announce the hook-in and show you a snippet of a video from a US hooker.  I don’t think you need a facebook account to get into it.  If you DO have a facebook account, please follow the Australian RugMakers Guild - they post a ton of wonderful info of interest to fibre artists.

In the meantime, here are some snippets from videos we prepared back in May:

This video is what kicked off our focus on rugs that make us proud.   Here’s Joyce telling us why this particular rug is her favourite:
