loops and links for rug hookers
A forum to provide rug hookers and mixed media artists with contacts and communications. Post your artwork, special interests and events.
GREETINGS
while attending a hooked bag class by Jennifer Manuell (during Deanne Fitzpatrick's Creativity Symposium) I accepted the challenge to develop a register of rug hooking contacts for Atlantic Canada. So here we are...... rug hookers unite!
From Atlantic Canada and beyond..... All are welcome.
Cheers,
Heidi Wulfraat,

ABOUT VIRTUAL RUG CAMP on RHD
One of our members, April DeConick has suggested that we add a virtual Rug Hooking camp to the site.
Imagine a learning platform for Rug Hookers in a warm and spirited "camp" atmosphere, open everyday, year round !!
I thought it was a great idea.!
Here's the deal:
* All of our "camp leaders" will be facilitating projects, challenges, or instruction with the intent to share their skills and the love of rug hooking with others.
*Activities within the RHD "camp" will be free of charge.
In other words, Rug Hooking Daily will not form any profit in association with Rug Camp.
* there cannot be a fee to join a camp group.
* members of RHD are welcome to join any or all CAMP ACTIVITIES which can be found in the GROUPS section of RHD
* Please remember that camp projects are meant to feature our facilitators. These folks are working voluntarily, for your enjoyment so be kind and supportive. Check them out on-Line. Get to know them.
*Facilitators can agree to check in on a class / activity once a month, daily , etc.....
*The aim of "Camp" is simply to encourage and to spark the imagination and creativity of the entire community.
_______________________________
** if you are interested in leading a camp workshop or other such activity, please feel free to contact me here on RHD or e-mail hwulfraat@thewoolworks.com.
** A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to April DeConick for sharing her passion, creativity and community building skills.
*** HAPPY RHD RUG CAMP EVERYONE !!!

Rather be hooking...
It's snowing...again here in Elyria, Ohio. We're supposed to get 3-4 inches today, more tonight, and another 3-4 inches tomorrow with wind gusts of 30+ mph! And I have to work... yuck! I'd much rather be home hooking or thinking about what I want to make next...
I love this site! I check into at lunch time from work. After reading some blogs, the daily discussion and so on, I end up wishing I could go home and work on my mat.
I quilt, I work on making jewelry - m
