Thirty Rugs from Fourteen Women



 I have been getting wonderful feedback from people viewing the Wild & Wooly rug exhibit. The Mile High Rughooking Guild is presenting the works, but we are so grateful to have women outside of our guild who have contributed rugs to be enjoyed.

This exhibit showcases the diverse nature of rughooking. The variety of colors, patterns and hooking styles guarantees there is something for everyone to love.

The show goes on through March 30th at Koelbel Public Library in Centennial, CO. It is free during library hours.

Open daily & free to the public.



Looks like it has been awhile since I have had anything blog-worthy. This exhibit is definitely something to write about. I am so proud of the dozen plus women who contributed their rugs to be displayed at the Koelbel Public Library. The photos are just a sampling of the 30 rugs displayed in two galleries of the library. Getting the word out about traditional rug hooking as a fiber art can be difficult. I hope this brings a new awareness to the public about this fabulous art.
