The Heat Is ON....Almost!

Tommy and one of the temperature tapestries that will be on display
It’s almost time for the Northumberland Rug Hookers’ Hook-In and Regional Workshops.....September 30 in Cobourg. 

It promises to be a wonderful day, whether you’re taking one of the workshops or attending the hook-in part of the festivities. There will be speakers, vendors (think fabric, patterns, linen, yarn, hook, hoops, jewellery, soaps, and probably many things you didn’t know you needed!), scissor sharpening, prizes, yummy treats, and lots of rugs to ogle. 
Check out this lovely sunburst bracelet, available at the hook-in from Rosemary of Toth Jewels
Never been to Cobourg before?  Here’s a link to our location at Grace Church, 440 King St East.  If you’ve got some time to spare, check out downtown Cobourg....several interesting shops there.

What to bring?
  • A rug for display....remember there are prizes! Categories are: fine cut, wide cut and “The Heat Is On” featuring subjects that deal with weather. 
  • Your hooking project to work on, or whatever materials you need to bring for your class.
  • Your Lunch! Treats and goodies will be available throughout the day. We’ll break for lunch from 12 to 1:30. 
  • A mug. Coffee and tea are provided
Timing this year is different than in previous years:
  • If you’re attending a full day workshop, plan to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45.  That will give you time to check in at registration, get settled in your classroom and snaffle a treat before class starts at 9 am
  • The half day class,  with Loretta, will start at 1:30 - so you've plenty of time to enjoy the hook-in for the morning!
  • If you’re coming to the hook-in, plan to arrive between 9 and 10. Speakers will start around 10-ish. 
  • If you’re a teacher or a vendor arrive any time around 8 am (coffee/tea should be ready by then!)
  • We'll break for lunch between 12 and 1:30 - lots of time to eat, chat and visit the vendors....That's also when we'll do draws for prizes and tally up the votes for the display of rugs.
Looking looking forward to seeing you there!
