Traditional Rug Hooking is More Enjoyable than You May Realize, Try It At Creativ!

Creativ Fest 2014

Carla Canonico

Presented by: A Needle Pulling Thread Magazine

Carla Canonico was fascinated with her mother’s sewing and her grandmother’s knitting, a daily activity around the house. Born of Italian parents in Uruguay, who later immigrated to Montreal, Carla could speak Italian, Spanish, French and English by the second grade. This inspired her to attain a Bachelor of Arts degree in Modern Languages. Today, she has come full circle, pursuing her passion and expressing her creativity as editor-in-chief and art director of “A Needle Pulling Thread” magazine.  www.ANeedlePullingThread.com

    Traditional Rughooking is alive and well in Newfoundland. I have a group of ladies who come to my house every Wednesday night for a hook-in. Rugs can tell a story or just be whimsical pieces of art.
