Missing rugs: Have you seen these?
I received this email from several rug hookers. If you’ve seen these rugs, please contact Linda or Norma.
Dear Rug Hookers,
Last week I was teaching a workshop in Ohio for a small group in a local church. Two rugs were stolen from the church sometime after class on Tuesday and before class began Wednesday morning. The room was filled with wool, hooking equipment including frames and cutters, other rugs and a digital projector. None of those items were touched. Please forward this email on to your rug hooking guilds and groups. If you are a frequent follower of Ebay, Craigslist or any other internet site that sells things I would appreciate it if you would be on the look out for the rugs. I am offering a reward for information leading to the return of the rugs.Rug #1 is my Crocodile Mola design. It was featured in the November/December 2011 issue of Rug Hooking Magazine. It was exhibited at the ATHA Biennial exhibit in Lancaster, PA in October 2011 and at the Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild exhibit at the Shelburne Museum in November 2011. The rug is 36 x 48.
Rug #2 is my Pumpkins and Leaves design. It was hooked by Linda Woodbury and has been exhibited at many local shows in New Jersey. The rug is 28 x 40.
I have attached photos below.
If you have any info please contact me or Linda.Thank you,
Norma
THEY’VE BEEN FOUND! Read about their return.
I have boxes of wool, yarn, tools & loom from my grandmother. She passed in 1986 … I haven’t had the heart to discard her crafting supplies. I would like to donate her supplies to teach others. Norma’s story of instructing members of her church touched my heart. How can I reach her to make a donation to these church members?
You can find her contact information on my workshops page.
This could not have been a “sister” hooker that took these rugs. So sad.
I pinned this and will post on FB. Unbelievable….
Please let us know if they are found.

Wow! So hard to believe but I work retail and have seen it all. Obviously not a hooker or they probably would have stolen equipment. I will keep my eyes open snd good luck in finding the perpetrators.
