FRASER - Key Persons

Mrs. Fraser took lessons from private teachers and also courses in Willimantic State Teachers College in hooking, color, design, craft teaching and related subjects. She has instructed many in the rug hooking art. The three Fraser Daughters also hook rugs and teach the art of rug hooking. Mrs, Fraser's outstanding work, a room size rug was one of the outstanding exhibits at a show held by the Soroptimist at the community Y. This was posted in 1957 in the Manchester Herald. After Mr. Fraser passed away, Mrs. Fraser carried on the business alone.I became interested in rug hooking lessons about that time and joined Mrs. Fraser's hooking class. I already had a slitter because I had seen an advertisement in a catalog from California for the slitters a couple of years before and had decided to buy it then.
