The Rug Hookers of PebbleCreek were well represented at the Biennial meeting of ATHA (Association of Traditional Hookers) that met September 9 through 13 in San Antonio. June Bennett, Priscilla Sharp, Sally Holmboe and Karen Lubahn joined over 400 rug hookers from the United States, Canada and other nations.

What do rug hookers do when they get together? Hook, of course. The four women took advantage of classes with nationally known teachers in the field covering many aspects and techniques of traditional rug hooking. All was not work as there was time for a barge cruise on the river, sightseeing and shopping for new patterns and wool to add to stashes.
If you would be interested in joining this group, taking classes or just checking us out, we meet every Monday from noon to 4:00 p.m. in the Diamondback Room of the Creative Arts Center. Contact current club President DeeDee Abolins at 253-278-1230 or <[email protected]> for further information.
