March 20, 2004 meeting

The March meeting featured guest speaker Phyllis Lindblade who shared her knowledge of Grenfell rugs and hooking with hosiery which was typically used in the old Grenfell mats. We also had several original Grenfells on display. Phyllis brought nylon stockings and templates so we could design our own little mats. After trying our hands at the Grenfell style, we all agreed that hooking with the nylons took special skill and we definitely had a greater appreciation for the makers of these beautiful mats!
