The Hunterdon County Rug Artisans Guild was founded in April 1977. We currently have over 90 members from seven states. The mission of the Guild is to perpetuate the tradition and art of rug hooking, to encourage creativity, to provide the means for an exchange of ideas and information and to promote educational activities to enhance the interest in rug hooking. Monthly meetings in Flemington, New Jersey offer programs for someone new to rug hooking as well as the seasoned artisan. Members have opportunities to participate in hooking demonstrations, rug exhibits, rug camps and “hook-ins”. A supportive environment is provided for those new to the craft and for those looking to refine their technique. New members are always welcome!

Folks, it’s time for this country to experience a little ‘up time’, so America, Listen Up.
If you see injustice, stand up. If something needs to be said, speak up.      
If you make an appointment, show up. If you’re blind to your fault, wake up.      
If you make a mistake, ‘fess up. If you’re overstepping, back up.
If you get behind, catch up.  If they knock you down, get up.
If you’re out of line straighten up. When your boss instructs, keep up.
When your elders speak, listen up.  When your teachers teach, sit up.
When your preachers preach, wake up.
When your country calls, man up…..ladies too….woman up.
When the fight is over, make up.  If you’re being hard, ease up.
If your heart is closed, open up.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.
If you want to buy something, save up. It’s not an entitlement, so shut up.
If you make a mess, clean it up.  If you drop trash, pick it up
If a car is waiting for you to walk across the street, speed it up.
If you’re broke and busted, give it up.   If people fall down, help them up
Not the government, YOU step up.  If idiots start fighting, break it up.
If the music is wholesome, turn it up. If the message is poisonous throw it up
If your words are vulgar, clam it up.  If your words encourage, keep it up
If your pants are baggy, pull them up. If the belt is loose, cinch it up
If your fly is down, zip it up. If you’re dressed half-naked, cover it up
If you can’t afford it, pass it up. No bailout, folks, pony up.
If you made a promise, back it up
And you can take your whining and pack it up
It’s called personal responsibility so take it up
This country was founded on it.  You can look it up
It’s the American way, people, so turn it up
If life gets boring you shake it up.  If life is good you soak it up
If life’s unfair, you suck it up.  If life is funny you can yuck it up
If life is sad, just look straight up and life’s too short, so live it up.
If you don’t agree with all this stuff then you’re just messed up!

Keep pulling those loops UP! — Weezie
