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

<\/span><\/div>\n

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

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