Barb Ackemann will do a demo of making a double zipper / double pouch purse using a small piece of hooking. You need to be registered for the event and send an email to barb@gmrhg.org. The first 10 emails will be in the morning demonstration. If there’s more interest, she’ll do another demo in the afternoon. The demo is on the sewing / construction of the purse, not on the hooking! She’ll have zippers and pulls available for sale for your project.Are you registered yet? Do it here! Registration Deadline: November 9th.
The Resort charges us per person for the room, beverages, snacks, and lunch, and we’ve discounted that cost for members.
The event is open to guests, but we’ve priced that to actually cover our cost per person — and to encourage membership! Bring your friends. It will be a great introduction to a great group of people.
Our Hook-in / Meeting at Lake Morey Resort is just 12 minutes away from the Rug Show at Pompanoosac Mills in East Thetford.
We have two vendors for the event, but if you need to visit Dorr Mill Store, it’s just an hour away.
Maybe you can’t do everything in one day – call the Resort 802-333-4311 and ask for the GMRHG rate ($169 classic/$179 lakeside) and stay Friday or Saturday night – or both!
We just had a very successful weekend at the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival and now turn our attention to the upcoming 1-day Hook-in and Business Meeting coming up next month.
This will be Saturday November 18 at the Lake Morey Inn in Fairlee, VT from 9-3.
Sandy Ducharme and Mary Lee O’Connor will be our on-site vendors so you can shop for that specific color and pattern that is missing in your stash.
We will also have our infamous “Red Solo Cup Auction”. For those of you new to the “Red Solo Cup Auction” experience—you bring your fibery/crafty related items and we auction the goods off. Funds raised help to offset the cost of GMRHG events and programs. Please bring items to add to this fun-raising opportunity (and don’t forget your money). Contact Kris McDermet (kmcdermet1@gmail.com) if you have any questions or just bring your goods to donate to the fun!
Registration is open at https://gmrhg.wildapricot.org
