Here are some upcoming events and information from outside Mayflower of interest to rug hookers.
If you know of anything else coming up that should be added, please email Ildi at for publication in our next newsletter and on the website
As Mayflower members, we are fortunate to belong to ATHA Region I and the rich variety of resources and activities it provides access to across New England. Some of these include the week-long Region I South and North rug hooking workshops held each year in April and October and the Region I Hook-In that takes place in April.
I have been trying something new to hopefully make it easier to print out information and forms for each event.. I’ve listed the links just below the event description. Of course there will be information in newsletters.
Upcoming events for schools and hook-ins:
