Warm, welcoming, and relaxing is the vibe your will experience at the annual Fall Rug Hook-In held at the Sauder Heritage Inn. The spacious retreat room, set with round tables, allows for room to spread your project and join with friends while you hook.

The Hook-In is held at the gorgeous Sauder Heritage Inn, providing a country lodge feel with natural wood timbers, atrium, hand forged lighting and railings, and unique artwork throughout the building. Additional amenities include an indoor pool with waterfall, hot tub, game room, and exercise room. Snacks, beer, and wine are available for purchase at the Front Desk too!

No matter what stage you are in with a hooked piece, this weekend is a great time to catch up on projects, share ideas with other rug hooking enthusiasts, and show off your work during the “Throw Down”. While there is no formal instruction or teachers at this self-guided hook-in, other attendees are always willing to help with a project.
