I managed to spend enough elsewhere!<br />Did you not find the Royal Hall to sit down in? It's massive, think that's what it's called. and as for your photos of the rag rugging, so jealous!<br />SueXxx<br />Crafts @ Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159786508502458007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-4832651978623702872013-11-27T15:42:00.257+00:002013-11-27T15:42:00.257+00:00Oh dear, Lynda - don't hole your breath!

I am hoping that attending such a group as Jane-Ann's will shame me and galvanise me into getting going with it and eventually finishing the darned thing! No, I would say that there is certainly less of a mainstream tradition of rug hooking here than in the States, but it is an unbroken tradition, and it is quite thriving nowadays.

And yes, I am a very old friend of Janes, we started years and years ago at Samphire Quilters in Kings Lynn and I saw her the other month at the Swaffham exhibition.

If you live in Norfolk you have to drive EVERYWHERE to see anything, and we either get the coach to Alexander Palace in London - a whole day and a long day THAT is I can tell you, or a good three hour drive up to HArrogate and really really crap parking facilities. Still, one must suffer for ones Art, mustn't One!!
