Here are some upcoming events and information from outside Mayflower of interest to rug hookers.
If there are any events that you would like to have included in the Mayflower newsletter and on the website, please let us know and we will list them.
As Mayflower members, we have the great good fortune 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.
