Joan Foster Rug Hooking

Today the Halls Bay Rug Hookers took the last of their summer road trips to spend the day at the library in Harry’s Harbour. Here are a few pictures from today. Special thanks to Rose Hill for her hospitality!

What a wonderful day at Penny’s cottage near Port Anson! Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us and for the great food. The view was amazing too!

Smaller version of my Long Point Lighthouse completed! This one is just 9” x 12” and is hooked with Briggs & Little yarn on linen.

Commissioned memory rug of a person’s family home which no longer exists is finished! Yarn and hosiery on linen. Having the photo as a visual aid was very helpful in doing the design and in color planning.

Another item off my bucket list - yesterday I made a piece of stained glass! Sarah Norman of Sarah’s Glass Works came to Springdale and taught a great class. Mr. Moose has found a temporary space to hang until he makes the trip to our cabin.
