Back at it again!


We had a very lively meeting today, our first Monday meeting since last May. Lots of things to discuss and lots of rugs to ogle. 



Big news of the day is that Judy Cross is back after sometime away to recover from her broken ankle….and her St Francis is almost done!


Karen & Ardell were there with lots of stuff to sell and there were lots of buyers to buy!


….and there was a whack of rugs for our viewing pleasure, whether fair entries, display items or thing that just got done over the summer. 
















As an added bonus, we had 3 folks demonstrating rug hooking at Lang this past weekend.  They got to dress up in period costume…..don’t they look lovely? (Photos taken by Lynda Johnston!)
