\nI recently picked up a back issue of the Rugger\u2019s Companion,
\nthe bimonthly newsletter\/magazine of ATHA, Association of Traditional Hooking
\nArtists.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nI had not known of this organization and an internet search
\nproduced the following facts:<\/span><\/div>\n
\n        Their
\nmembership includes over 4, 000 fiber artists worldwide organized into 17
\nregions.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n        In North
\nAmerica, there are 78 active chapters.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTheir very professional news magazine held a wealth of
\ninformation for rug hooking enthusiasts. 
\nDozens of articles and photographs of finished project submitted by the
\nmembership inspired me to finish a couple of hooking projects I have
\nstarted.  <\/span><\/div>\n
\nAdvertisers feature hooking supplies of every description as
\nwell as instructional books and magazines.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI have always thought membership in an organization or guild
\nwhich represents your hobby and interests to be very advantageous.  For a nominal membership fee, there are  many benefits, including working with
\nartists with the same interests<\/span><\/div>\n
\n(a great learning experience).  There is usually the opportunity to attend
\nworkshops and conferences and new products are offered in their publications.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\nATHA is sponsoring a biennial symposium in 2015 in San
\nAntonio, Texas.  For all information
\nconcerning this seminar and membership please contact www.atharugs.com<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
