Canadian Rug Hooker visiting Australia

Katherine with her hit and miss horse rug

 It is always a pleasure to be able to host anyone who needs a bed for the night, but it makes it very special when that person and her husband is a seasoned Rug Hooker.

As I was talking to Miriam Miller on Skype last week she happened to mention that she had received a phone call and subsequent visit from Canadian Rug Hooker, Katherine Cornthwaite and her husband. Alan and Katherine are doing a two months tour around Australia and Katherine had a pressing need to catch up with Rug Hookers along the way. Well we all know what that is like. Katherine had brought along two lovely rugs to work on as they travelled. You have to be keen don't you. So after their visit to Miriam in Milton where they were received in the true hospitable Miriam Miller style, I received a phone call from Katherine on Friday evening. They were in Lakes Entrance and wondered if they could drop by.
They arrived on Saturday afternoon and we hit it off like a house on fire. I promise we didn't stop 'rug talking' until we went to bed that night.


As they are Christian people they welcomed the invitation to come to church the following morning. After lunch and more rug talk and sharing of ideas and links we parted company and they went off to continue their holiday, leaving newly made friends behind. Unfortunately they will be flying home before our next meeting in December. Katherine would have loved to come and join the Yarra Valley Rug Makers at their December meeting.
