We enjoyed stopping by our friend kris mcdermet s class where she was teaching how to braid around hooking and make 9 loop centers. Kris has several rugs on display. My favorite is her new rug labyrinth a large round 7 circuit labyrinth. Kris mcdermet s rugs which combine techniques of traditional hooking and rug braiding are a strong beacon indicating a mature artist s sensibility.

You know her rugs when you see them. The class was very friendly and they were clearly enjoying the class. Also in my inbox today was the blog from beaconsfield hooking crafters guild with an article about kris mcdermet s upcoming braiding classes and mentioning kris s recent awards including 2015 rug hooking magazine s celebrations where kris was a finalist in the original category for prints prints described below by kris. Kris was a featured artist at the 2018 green mountain rug hooking guild s hooked in the mountains rug show in essex vermont in 2018.

She began hooking and soon her rugs had rows of braid to compliment the hooking. Kris mcdermet left with her award winning rug.

Kris mcdermet has been braiding for 40 years and fell in love with braiding on hooking during her first braiding class when her teacher isabel clough mentioned that she had seen a few hooked rugs with a row of braid on the outside creating a frame.

No one else s work resembles her efforts. Last year kris and i curated the contemporary braided art rugs exhibit at sauder village rug hooking week and it was a very special time.
