At last!! First hook-in in a couple years and it was good fun! Yes, there were some noticeable differences indicating all was not as it once was.
Our bigger than life members Sandra and Carol were gone, taken by cancers. Lovely homemade fare was replaced by pizza (delivered) and salad (served by one person) and the faces of friends were half covered by masks… ….
but there was celebration and excitement at gathering. Here are some photos.
I did not post two exquisite people hookings done by blogger Julia as I hope she posts them again on her site. They are extraordinary for capturing detail and expression. Please show us Julia. Hint hint.
The vendor was Krista Taylor of Get Hooked in Fredericton NB. I think she did well!
The hook-in theme of sunflowers and sun
was very fitting and everyone left with a mug rug and a parsley plant and a smile

Enjoyed the rug show and I agree...Julia, where's a photo of your Madonna?
Hi Kimm. First of all, I want to thank you for inviting me into the Evening Matter rug hooking group and for helping to organize this Hook-In. It was fantastic and I'm so glad I attended. Even though, I recognized some familiar faces from the group, most were new faces to me from the large gathering of around 60 rug hookers. The whole place was a delightful buzzing noise of happy rug hookers who were so glad to finally meet together after not being allowed because of Covid lockdown...
I'm so glad that you took some pictures. I did take some but people were taking their rugs down so I didn't get good pictures as I was rushing. The food was delicious.
I'll post some on my blog after I upload my pictures.
PS. I still have your book and I'll bring it to our pot-luck.
Hugs,
Julia
What a Fun Hook In , so many gorgeous rug ! I Love that Puffin !!! I am going to my very first hook in a few weeks & can't wait !
Well, "hurrah" is right! So glad you were able to get in some hooking fun with friends. There obviously was a lot of talent packed into that room. I love the rug of the 3 women (sisters??) - amazing detail!! And I agree: We wanna see, Julia!!! ~Robin~
What fun!!! It had to be an extra special day after all the lockdowns.
Amazing talent.
Check out Of Petals and Wool blog. I thought Julia would want to post. It’s an amazing piece in progress!
What a fun day! It was good you could come and share your creativity and het inspired too! Keep the book a while if you’d like.
Oh my goodness—- you are in for a treat!! Besides the ones slowly restarting in New Brunswick, I’m signed up for Parris Wool’s hook-in for November in Maine. A junkie!
Sooo much talent and too fast a day. Yes, the Three Sisters is crazy good. I was doing too much to take pics of tags. But I can say I’m inspired .
Interesting, I noticed when people arrived they looked a bit uncertain but judging by the noise levels mid-morning, the hookers had found their grooves!
Some gorgeous rugs. So many talented folks. Glad you were able to go and had fun! Janice
What a beautiful collection of rugs, love the unique designs from everyone.
