Hi friends! I was the youngest attendee at the 2nd TIGHR conference in Mahone Bay NS in '97(?), took a few years off rug hooking for my career and family responsibilities, and rejoined in time for the 2015 conference in Victoria BC. I'm currently completing my teacher certification through the Western Canada Rug Hooking Education Association (which is centred at Prairie Harvest Rug Hooking School). Looking forward to seeing you all in Niagara Falls!
