Shortly thereafter, she formed the Beaconsfield, Que. Rug Hooking Guild. She has been involved with rug hooking shows yearly and bi-yearly ever since. Prior to her husband’s retirement, the family was transferred to Ottawa, Ont. where she became involved with the Old Forge group of hookers (OHCG ) to share her knowledge and expertise. Lois also taught adult hooking classes at Riverdale High School while there. Even so occupied, Lois found time to travel to Beaconsfield on Mondays to continue her work there. She has participated in many OHCG shows across Ontario and co-convened the 1984 show in Ottawa. Lois was the guest speaker at the 1986 OHCG exposition in Toronto, speaking on the topic “Portraits”, following which she wrote an article for Rug Hooker News Magazine. Lois taught her craft to summer classes at Trent University School of Rug Hooking for four years as an invited lecturer.
