Our Rugs Ride Again

Me with my "Loyalist Mall" - the Ross-Thomson Museum

Louise ("Birchtown Museum") and Marian ("Loyalist Scrip")

Rilla and her "Toys"

The Loyalist Rug Show ("Shelburne Then and Now") is making its final appearance at the Laing Gallery in the Rossignol Cultural Centre in Liverpool. If you haven't seen the show yet, it's on until July 15th and the mounting in the gallery is lovely - there is additionally a fabric art show of quilters' and fabric artists' work from across Canada (including Laurie Swim) in the attached smaller gallery.

Our rug hooking group had an outing to see the display last Friday and I managed to drag Wayne and Tim there this week as well. Friday's trip was fun and included a nice luncheon at The Woodpile in Liverpool.

The Rossignol is a fun museum - very eclectic collection based on the whimsical interests and travels of Sherman Hines, the photographer. Here are some pictures of Wayne and Tim in the cultural village.
