Farewell to Judy


 Well that was fun!  We attended a tea party/hook-in in honour of the Judy exhibit of Laura Kenney’s work at the Art Gallery of Northumberland.


We had folks from Gravenhurst, Aurora/Newmarket and Peterborough, in addition to many from our own group, and from the general community.

Olinda Casimiro, Executive Director of the Gallery provided us with tables, chairs, coffee/tea and the (all-important) cookies.

We spent the time visiting the exhibit, and chatting and even getting some hooking done! 






You could tell who the rug hookers were….they were the ones with their noses up close to the rugs picking out various details.  Everyone marvelled at the use of colour and materials, as well as the humourous titles and the pertinent subject matters.

Dianne brought along Dolores Skelly’s Honourable Mention from the OHCG Annual, as well as 2 others that were on display there.




A huge thank you goes to Laura Kenney for sharing Judy with us and bringing her wonderful exhibit to Cobourg.  Thanks also goes to Olinda Casimiro for hosting the show, and allowing us to “invade” the gallery for today’s event.
