Weaving Weaving is truly an art form with its intricate and beautiful patterns. It is amazing to watch as a weaver throws a shuttle through a series of threads to create the desired pattern. The weavers at Sherboroke Village can make anything from a set of placemats to a coverlet for a bed.
	Rug Hooking Hooked rugs were not only practical, but also a decorative element in home when families could not afford decoration. Rugs were made from a piece of burlap and scraps of wool to ensure that they lasted a long time.
	Quilting Quilting used to be a necessity in order to keep warm during the long cold Canadian winter. Quilts were made from scraps of clothing and cloth that could be found around the home. Today, quilting is no longer a necessity and has become more decorative and pleasing to the eyes.
	Flax Flax is a plant that has blue flowers and was traditionally used for making linen. The flax was spun, much like wool, and was then woven into linen on a loom. Sherbrooke Village continues to demonstrate the processes of turning raw flax into linen.
	Sewing Sewing in the nineteenth century was not always out of necessity, but was also a decorative art. Cross-sticking and embroidery were wonderful ways to decorate a home.
