NEWFOUNDLAND RUGHOOKER


Friday, May 6, 2011

This was one of the first rugs that I hooked. It is one of my favourites and I love the story that it tells. It is from two photos of my grandmother and father. the first photo is of Grandmother standing next to the wheelbarrow with flowers and a cake in each hand. The second photo was a photo of my father pushing the wheelbarrow to the Garden Party with Grandmother walking behind him.There is a tradition in Newfoundland/Garden Party Day where the community raises money for the church and community.There will be wheels of chance ,pony rides, and family oriented activities.There is always a cold plate dinner that everyone goes to......Sometimes it is a hot turkey  but I remember it was always a cold salad plate as a child.....Lots of childhood memories. I do try to get out to the Garden Party in st. Marys where my father came from. Beautiful place .Always an enjoyable time................
