Hooked in the Mountains Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild

How do I get from Here to the Rest of the World by Anne-Marie Littenberg Plied threads of cotton, silk, lurex, polyester, and wool on a woven cotton backing, 74” x 38” Anne-Marie Littenberg uses a painterly and photographic approach to rug hooking. This rug is presently on display at the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, Maine. Littenberg is also the author of the books “Hooked Rug Landscapes” and “Hooked Rug Portraits.” Left: The Woman on the Swing by Jen Lavoie Hand dyed and “found” wool on linen, 33”x 41” “The woman pictured in this rug was a woman named Eleanor who lived near to me. I would see her sitting out on her swing whenever I passed by and I finally hooked the image. I later found out that we shared the same birthday. The hand that you see holding the rope was injured in a childhood farm accident and it was the first successful reattachment surgery in the state! She has passed away, and her family has come to see the piece and gave me coins that represented each major milestone in her life... see why I hook?!” — Jen Lavoie

By Lin Stone Traditional crafts such as rug hooking were born of humble practical beginnings and materials: it was not the embroidery and textile arts of women who came from privileged means. Poor women cut grain bags and raggedy homespun clothing into small strips and hooked them into bed rugs to keep warm at night; women of modest means made calico quilts for their beds, and women of wealth embroidered. But as the centuries tumbled forward, the need to be practical did not exclude the desire to be creative and surround oneself with useful things of beauty: art. Today’s rug hookers have created their own aesthetic standards and are experimenting with new fabrics, hand painting and dyeing wool, making individually-designed color wheels, and drawing their unique designs on linen backings. The results are wooly, wild, and wonderful: bathing suit spandex and silk threads are woven amidst torn tweed jackets and handdyed sheep’s wool. It is a skilled and practical craft that has traveled well across the centuries and transcended its plain and simple beginnings to become a beautiful and useful art form. Vermont craft enthusiasts are fortunate to be home to the Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild (GMRHG), the largest and likely most active rug-hooking guild in the nation. It recently held its annual exhibit “Hooked in the Mountains” at the Shelburne Museum, and offered one of the most comprehensive displays of hooked rugs in the country. More than four hundred rugs

were in this year’s show. Initially, local Guild shows were held at the round barn in Waitsfield, but membership and entries expanded to merit its present and prestigious exhibition space at the Shelburne Museum. According to Jen Lavoie, Guild member and show chair, GMRHG’s membership has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years. “The quality of the entries is always phenomenal,” she commented. “One of the many things that make this annual show so inspiring and unique is its quality and the incredible range of styles and expression. Many exhibitors are masters using traditional patterns and wool, some are newcomers exhibiting their first rug, and more and more are artists and innovators doing freehand work using surprising new fibers. After our first year at the Shelburne Museum, one member made a fabulous book of the show—growth was then exponential,” she explained. The Guild’s membership burst the state’s seams, and now encompasses five hundred rughooking members Corn II by Jen Lavoie Hand-dyed wool on linen, 86”x 52” “This is the second piece in a series of cornfield images that I have hooked. I spent many very special years playing in the cornfields as a child in Middletown Springs, where my grandparents lived.” — Jen Lavoie

The Piano, hooked wool on linen, 7’x 5’; and The Cello, hooked wool on linen, 5’x 3’ , both by Rae Harrell Harrell creates bold and lyrical hooked rugs using traditional methods, contemporary images, and her original designs. These two rugs are part of a larger series. Other images include a flutist, guitarist, and belly-dancing tambourine player.

With Closed Eyes by Judy Cole Wool on linen backing, 62” x 63” Judy Cole designed this rug with her eyes closed—literally. After “blind drawing” the lines onto linen backing, she then hooked the rug with images and colors as inspired by the shapes. Cole also has been known to experiment in other ways, incorporating other surprising materials such as swimsuit fabric into her rugs to add shine and dimension.

from around the globe—from the Green Mountain state to Yorkshire, England and the further reaches of Japan. Rae Harrell of Hinesburg and her mother Gloria Reynolds are both members of the Guild. Harrell’s mother taught her to paint when she was young and Harrell has introduced Reynolds the joy of fiber arts. Harrell is a painter and sculptor, as well as a fiber artist. However, she says she is particularly drawn to rug hooking. “I like the sensate qualities of the soft fibers and the fact that the wool absorbs color so well. You literally get to put your hands right in the middle of the work and feel very connected. For me, this is even more pleasing than color dabbled on the end of a paintbrush.” Harrell also sang the praises of the Shelburne Museum annual exhibit, stating “The women in the show are dedicated and very talented artists, but they are people not generally honored at other art events—your grandmother, your neighbor, your aunt—but they are indeed artists producing exciting new work in their own right.” In addition to the annual exhibit, workshops, and “hookins,” Green Mountain Guild members often meet regularly in small groups across the country in church basements, homes, schools, or libraries. They share their knowledge and skills, newcomers and old-timers, passing the craft down from warm hand to warm hand, generation to generation. And yes… Guild members also delight in sharing the jokes about being called hookers too.

Y is for Yoder by Patty Yoder Hand dyed wool on linen, 40’x 38’ This piece was inspired by a large painting at the MOMA by Chuck Close. The late Patty Yoder, a masterful rug-hooker and Guild member was renowned for her work using wool she hand dyed from sheep on her beloved farm in Tinmouth. The Yoder Gallery at the Shelburne Museum will open for the 2012 season and was made possible through a generous gift by her husband, Ramsey Yoder.

Time Travelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sport Snowshoeing

By Kathy Howard

ncestors of the Inuits and Native Americans brought snowshoes with them when they migrated from central Asia to North America. And like most things that have been around for a very long time, snowshoeing has evolved from simple modified slabs of wood and cumbersome practical winter transportation to sophisticated lightweight aluminum recreation.

New aluminum showshoes make romping or racing in the snow easy.

Snowshoeing enjoyed a relatively recent and exponential boom in the decade from the 1990s to the turn of the century in 2000. There were reportedly 444,000 enthusiasts in 1994, which leapt to 5 million Americans in 2000 that regularly went snowshoeing for pleasure. This phenomenal growth is attributed to two contributing factors: the 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise in Nordic skiing, running, cycling, and triathlons, and Tubbs Snowshoe Company, formerly of Stowe, an industry leader with its pivotal early introduction of aluminum snowshoes.

December 2011 / January 2012 Destination Vermont

Under the leadership of then owner Ed Kiniry of Shelburne, Tubbs designed a revolutionary lightweight snowshoe and was largely responsible for broadening the appeal of winter’s fastest growing winter sport. No longer a plodding experierence, today’s snowshoeing is a fun and easy way to be active in the winter and to connect with the outdoors. The sport is simple to learn, inexpensive compared to many other winter sports, and is gentle on the body. It also has the added benefit of being one of the most efficient cardiovascular activities: snowshoeing can burn more than 45 percent more calories than walking or running at the same speed.

Snowshoeing lets outdoor enthusiasts explore the winter forest far from the beaten path.

Snowshoeing enthusiasts can use hiking trails for casual pleasure, trek through the backcountry for something more adventuresome and arduous, and now also can crank it up and join other competitors to race. With snowshoes on your feet, you can go places where skis cannot always take you.

Whatever your level of fitness or expertise, there is a trail or path for you. For more information on the Green Mountain Club, visit www. greenmountainclub.com

Vermont is home to a wide variety of terrain and some of the most extensive and diverse trails in the East, making it the perfect destination this fast-growing sport. The Green Mountain Club, Vermont’s largest hiking organization, has compiled maps, guidebooks, and information about snowshoe hikes around the state. These guides

Snowshoeing tours are also gaining popularity. Umiak Outdoor Outfitters in Stowe not only provides snowshoe rentals but also offers a variety of theme-based hikes and tours. Professional guides lead you to a hidden sugarhouse in the woods by the light of the moon (or headlamp) on their Moonlight Cabin Tour. The Best of the Best tour provides you with a certified outdoor

o you know the happy feeling you get when you go to an establishment so often that you can consider yourself a local because the owner knows your name and your typical order? That is the feeling you get after the first time you go to dine at Archie’s Grill and meet owner Dick Hess. Named after Hess’s father, Archie’s serves up some of the best burgers around by a staff that genuinely

seems to be enjoying their job. I was surprised and delighted to find that they have three beers on tap and offer wine by the glass. “We have a two glass maximum for the beer and wine. This is a family restaurant and there is no need to have more than two glasses” said Hess as he stood by the Switchback, Sam Adams Octoberfest, and Magic Hat Hex taps. As I sat by the big front window

with sun pouring in and looked at the photos on the wall of local sports, I was treated to an array of burgers made by Hess and employee Michael Prendergast. Let me begin with saying, I have heard nothing but amazing reviews about the burgers at Archie’s so I was excited to try them. My cousin Max goes there regularly for two bacon cheeseburgers and when I mentioned this, Dick knew who he was and exactly what he ordered.

fabulous fare

WARM Memories...Special times together! Let us be a part of your celebrations and make this season one to remember.

Above: Archie’s homemade chips-to-go. Far left: Owner Dick Hess shows off the portobello burger. Lower left: Misty Knoll turkey burger

I began with the Portobello mushroom burger that was topped with roasted red peppers, goat cheese, and onions caramelized with maple syrup. The mushroom was cooked to perfection and the burger had a bit of sweetness to it that made it hard to put down. There are four choices of sides: house-made chips and salad, which are included, or fries and sweet potato fries, offered for an additional charge. If you only picture tasteless frozen patties when you think of turkey burgers, head over to Archie’s for a change of heart. The Misty Knoll turkey burger was juicy, fresh and had just the right amount of chipotle sauce and roasted red peppers on top. The fishwich was served with crispy battered haddock topped with a housemade tartar sauce that stands out because of the capers in it. The blue burger…wow. From the perfectly grilled burger topped with blue cheese to the beer infused onion rings and blue cheese dressing all between a bulky roll—it doesn’t get much better than that. One year after opening Hess has plenty to be proud of, “the restaurant’s success has far

exceeded my expectation, and much of that is thanks to my employees. They are very important to me.” Archie’s has specials which change every day, and in the summer he has a window from which to serve creemees. Archie’s is a neighborhood grill offering great food at family friendly prices. Hess encourages diners to leave a piece of history there. If you have a framed photo of yourself or someone you know playing a sport for CVU, Rice, Waldorf, the elementary schools, or independent establishments, bring it in and he will put it on the wall. “I hope one day the walls will be covered, and then you can stop in twenty years from now and still see your photo on the wall,” said Hess. So next time you are looking for a great meal stop into Archie’s Grill, introduce yourself to Dick and become an instant local. 4109 Shelburne Rd., Shelburne (802) 985-4912 11:30 – 8 p.m. Sun. – Thurs. 11:30 – 9 p.m. Fri. and Sat.

ew Mex, Old Mex, Tex Mex, Cali Mex—Mexican food is likely one of the earliest examples of “fusion cuisine”: the native Incan, Mayan, and Aztec staples such as corn and beans, met with Cortez and Spanish rice in the early 1500s. On the corner of Battery and lower Main Street, Burlington’s own translator of cuisines, Miguel’s Mexican Restaurant and Cantina, caters to traditionalists and gringos alike. Owned and operated by husband and wife team Michael and Adrienne Henzel, the couple has been serving up south of the border flavors for more than thirty years. Prior to moving to Vermont Chef Michael Henzel lived in Wyoming, and while traveling extensively throughout the Southwest he sampled often and ate very well.

www.destinationvermont.com

On the Saturday evening we went to dine at Miguel’s, the weather felt appropriately equatorial, registering ninety-plus humid degrees all day. Nonetheless, we decided to dine al fresco on the shaded patio, which served up a refreshing lakefront breeze to accompany a mango Margarita, and a large black molcajete lava bowl filled with fresh bright green guacamole. Served with warm tortilla chips, the mellow, nutbuttery Haas avocado dip with a piquant side of chopped fresh tomato salsa as its foil was so authentic and “spot on” that it could have sufficed for dinner on its own. However, on this relaxed “ode to the hot setting sun” occasion, we ordered more: Tostada Salad, Camarones

Tostada Salada topped with chile, jicama, guacamole, and queso Cotija. Below: Camarones Chipotle, large tiger shrimp sauteed in spicy orange chipotle sauce served with brown rice.

Chipotle, and a Vegetarian Enchilada. The Tostada Salad was a great fresh golden corn puff of a salad bowl filled with baby greens dressed in an avocado vinaigrette and lime sour cream, jicama, and topped with a great crumble of Mexican Cotija cheese. My favorite plate was the Camarones Chipotlea, a delectable study in contrasts: tender sweet shrimp with a good bite of spice. The dish featured large tiger shrimp in a glaze of spicy orange chipotle sauce, surrounding a tower of brown rice and vegetables. We also tried the Vermont Vegetarian Enchilada. This was filled with an enormous Portobello mushroom, Swiss chard, pine nuts, roasted tomatillo salsa, and served with jicama slaw. Yummy, and fresh, seven days a week. After serving lunch and dinner daily with a smile for so many

years, what is this couple’s secret to sustained familial and business success? “A sense of humor, savoring good healthy food and life, and a fabulous salsa to keep it all spicy.” And let’s not forget Miguel’s ever-popular cantina with its extraordinary and renowned margaritas, sangria, private label beer, local wines, and live music on Thursday and Friday nights. It’s a fiesta. 30 Main Street, Burlington Sun. – Thurs. 11:30 – 10 pm Fri. and Sat. 11:30 – 11 pm (802) 658-9000

What’s next? The Henzels are planning a launch of their new line of Miguel’s tortilla chips, blue corn and mixed seed, under their new product label, the Fifth Sun. Although the Henzel’s do indeed have five sons, Adrienne says the name has multiple meanings at play: the Fifth Sun also refers to a Mayan concept corresponding to the completion of this zodiac cycle on Dec. 21, 2012, and the emergence of a new dimension of an older life, one in natural harmony with the earth and the cosmic order of things. Adrienne correlates this concept of phases and evolution beginning with Miguel’s first line of products and restaurant in Stowe, and now she says that the Fifth Sun will mark the restaurateurs’ next phase —the healthy and harmonious Burlington waterfront phase.
