Can you imagine having a week with nothing to do but hook rugs? You don’t have to cook, clean, or take care of anyone but yourself. You can focus on your rug hooking, and you are surrounded by a group of new and old friends. If you can imagine that, you can imagine a week at the Country Inn Rug School.
