Hello to all my friends at TIGHR - I've just renewed my membership for this next term in Ontario, Canada.
Had a trip down memory lane looking at the image on the "members' only" sign-in page with the stairway full of TIGHR members - I took that…
"G'day Geraldine - from Jo Franco, Perth, Western Australia - I'm interested in the pom pom finish you have on a couple of your rugs - is it crocheted? I hope you will accept my friend request. Best wishes to you in these troubled times."
"G'day Jane - I've just read your article about Copyright in the new edition of Hooking Matters and would like to "chat" with you more about it. Please accept my friend request so that I can send you a private message. Thanks "
"G'day Nan - I've just seen your images for the 2018 International Rug Hooking Day - I really like your proggy wreath - would you mind if I shared this image with out local rug making group. Cheers Jo"
"From all the images I saw the time must have been jam packed - how exciting with all the costuming and dress-up and the scenery looked lovely - what an amazing time you must have all had! Australia was well represented from my count - with 2 from…"
"Great to hear that Judy - sorry I didn't get a chance to catch up while we were in Queensland this year - today it's start the pack up - we head out Friday morning on our long drive home."
"Here is the fabric to be used in our Conference workshops - having just been stripped off the trees. Judith took the image with her iPad and it shows up-side-down here even though I rotated it when saving to my computer. I wonder if anyone else has…"
"G'day Sheila - I've just received my Jun/Jul/Aug copy of RHM - Congratulations on your Celebrations win - your American Kestral is stunning. Cheers Jo"

"G'day Val Great to hear from you again. I haven't had a chance to get back to Eugene for a few years - my overseas trips are always at the wrong time of year. I'll be in Long Beach this Sept for the ATHA Biennial. Last year I made it to Victoria…"
Dear Jo, Thank you for the latest Hooking Matters. As always you have put together another excellent read. I loved Judi's Guardian Angel. We certainly have some unbelievable talent. I loved the novel a la Carte Menu!; plus the section about your tripping around and the article from Bette Collins.
We had a wonderful rug day at Narrawilly yesterday. One of our members, Maggie Hhickey whom we haven't seen for a few months, she comes from Braidwood, brought along the items she has been working on. They were all eye catching. A vacuum cleaner cover, a floor rug and the project she is working on at present; an old 2c stamp. It is quite a large piece, so when it is finished we hope to send you a photo.
Many Thanks Jo for posting the Article. If amyone would like to read more please go to the Members at the top of the page and click on the Link below about Mary.
Hi Jo, It saddens me that you still haven't posted my article about Noah's Ark coming to Canada.Mary and Lenny did an Awesome thing for Rug Hooking and it's story should be told. It rests now in Nova Scotia and The North American Museum for all to come and see. The Museum is not open yet but will be soon. Cheers Jan
The India Flint workshop images make me want to participate. She will be at Haystack School in Deer Isle, ME (USA) late in summer of 2011. And to think you have worked with her already.

Hi Jo,
Thanks for the card and the great photos of those gorgeous rugs. Happy new year to you too.
Best wishes, Anne
I was finally on this page long enough for your background image to appear! Wonderful vista. The SKY IS the Limit!
