Locker Rug Hooking

8:00 – 10:00 a.m.

$20

Limit: 20 participants

Registration Deadline: April 10

Location: Sunbright Inn
30 Live Oak Ave, DeFuniak Springs

Participants will locker-hook a trivet using twine, fabric, and mesh. Locker rug hooking marries quilting, knitting and rug hooking and is a great way to use scraps of fabric. It is a durable, thrifty, and versatile needle art that originated in Great Britain in the early 1900s, gaining popularity between 1920 and 1940.  It involves pulling fabric strips or yarn through a stiff canvas with a special hook and locking the loops with a contrasting cord, creating sturdy rugs and crafts. Sheri Easom owned her own quilt shop for 25 years and she continues her long-arm quilting business from her farm.  Sheri enjoys all types of fiber arts with quilting being her favorite.  There is also a free quilt display available between 8 AM and 4 PM.
