Thrums and Chums Rug Hooking Group
Come fellowship with other rug hookers from the Livingston County area and beyond. We meet on the second Saturday of the month and sometimes have a theme or an occasional program to further our creativity.
Our membership includes beginners as well as the experienced. Any style of hooking is welcome, from fine cut and shaded, to wide cut and primitive. Please come and join the fun—bring your hooking and a friend! Light snacks are provided.
