About The Author
The Teachers Branch Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia
The Teachers Branch, Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia, was formed in 1980 by a small group of Maritime rug hookers wishing to share their knowledge and craft with others. Training was provided by Ontario teachers, and the Branch was officially established in 1985. Today this organization is a strong, vibrant group of certified teachers dedicated to providing opportunities for study and creative development. Respecting the importance of our rug hooking heritage, the Teachers Branch proudly presents this celebration of the historic Garrett Bluenose Patterns.
