Hooked in the Mountain XV A Huge Success!
The Show is but a wonderful memory. All can agree that the GMRHG Hooked in the Mountains XV at the Shelburne Museum was one of the best show's ever.
Over 1500 people attended the week-long Show that featured some 500 rugs artfully created by Guild Members. For a taste of what happened at the Show, watch the video, produced by Stuck in Vermont, Seven Days VT.

Plans are in place for the 2012 Hooked in the Mountains Show to be held November 10 - 18, 2012 at the Shelburne Museum. The theme for next year's Show is "
Time, Motion and the "Miracle Challenge".
This years theme challenges our members to design rugs that are inspired by the multi-dimensional, multi -faceted concept of time and motion. The show will be laid out by categories that reflect all the many ways these concepts can be represented in hooked art.
