past years (and including this year) will total over $10,000.
The Alden House rug is a cooperative project of the Duxbury
Rug Hookers. This year the project was headed up by Laurie Sy-
bertz and the design of the hearth was drawn by Eloise Doyle.
Ann Gustavson, one of the Duxbury Rug Hookers, is an Al-
den descendant and it was her idea to use the Alden Barn as a
gathering place once a month for the rug hookers. In exchange,
the women hook one rug a year for the Alden Kindred to raffle
off at their annual meeting. The rugs are hooked of pure wool
cloth – often old clothes or blankets – which is dyed as needed
for colors in the rug, cut into strips and hooked into a linen foun-
dation.
