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
Rug Hooking 101
Traditional Rug Hooking 101 (hands-on 12)
Carla takes a step back in time and explores the basics of this old world craft. Hooking rugs as our North American pioneers once did has turned into an art form. Try your hand at a few loops and see if you get hooked!

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.
