I am hoping to scoot up to Shelburne, VT in the next week to catch The Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild Show, Hooked in the Mountains. The show begins tomorrow, November 12th and runs till the 20th. There will be workshops, demos and speakers; check The Shelburne Museum's website for more detailed info. Hours are 10-5, except on the 20th closing at noon. Cost $8.
The rug shown above is by Bev Conway Rufus. I've always loved to look at rug hooking. I've given it a half a try, but worried it would hurt my wrists.... got to baby these hands:)
The show is in The Round Barn at the museum. I was thinking what a smart time to have the show. Hunting season starts tomorrow here in Vermont. My absolute least favorite time to live here!!!! And here is the ladies get away from the hunter guys. I bet there are a few rug hooker guys, too but you know what I mean.
If you get a chance, head up to Shelburne for the show. Sure you won't be disappointed. And I'm going to make sure I get up, too. A trip to Shelburne isn't complete without a quick stop in Middlebury on my way up! And a few antique shop stops along the way.
