Chantry School of Rug Hooking 2014 (Sybil Mercer and Vicky Pickup) 24th year! WOW Great times for all... see photos of a few moments attached.

Well it is that time of year again and we had yet another wonderful Chantry School of Rug Hooking weekend.  I snapped a few pictures, forgive me for not writing down names...

Here we go...
Thanks to our wonderful teachers:
Marjorie Duizer (Fabulously Floral)
Marge Bruin (Family Memories)
Anne Boissinot (Funky Houses)
Ingrid Hieronimus (Foliage - aka Leaves)

Nov 6-16 "Called to Serve" in Toronto (King and Church)

Honouring Canada's Military Chaplains of all faiths.  Anne Hallett has a rug she spoke to us about which is at the exhibit, hooked with much TLC.  @St. James Cathedral, Entrance is free, if you have a chance... I attached a picture of the plaque.

Florals with Marjorie Duizer ...

Marge Bruin's class - Family Memories

Marge's rug in progress on display for students to view.  Just lovely and wonderful colour choices!

 Marilyn's Bluenose rug - see rug below for original and colours :) Beautiful!

Anne Boissinot's Funky Houses 

- I attached some pictures of her work and the wonderful colours from the wool (hanging in long strips at the windows in the background)

 Linda Sullivan's Chair pad :) LOVE IT!

Anne's Funky houses, just love the colours and thinking outside the box - curtain billowing in the wind is lace :)  

 This is my fav for colours :) 

 Ingrid Hieronimus's - we had Foliage - FUN WITH Leaves! And then some...

Snapped great pictures of Ingrid's rugs she brought as visual aids.   

Bonnie's Leaves

I WANT ALL THIS!!! A HOOKERS DREAM! 

Norma's Irish Pillow 

My own dyed wool and a few leaves done...

 Cheryl Harnack's 'Honeymoon Cottage' rug in bright fun colours :) can't wait to see it finished...

 Ingrid's finished rugs we were lucky enough to be able to view up close... stunning.  

And again we had an Auction of donated items to raise monies to be sent off again (as last year).  

I will post the details of how much and where it went... 

Lola Tims as our auctioneer and Cheryl Harnack as our 'Vannah' (sp?) :)

Sybile Mercer and Lorraine Duncan ready the items. 

A bonus posting - Gwen Becker completed this for her daughter - Love the work, the colour and finesse in the hooking.  Nicely done.  Don't know many people who can hook so consistently even. Colours are perfectly balanced.

Jean 1st project as a beginner 2013 - Marjorie Duizer designed the rug for Jean...

Nicely done...
