News Story

It's not too often that rug hooking makes the news, but my friend Sharon shared this article with me yesterday and I thought I'd pass it along. A Canadian rug hooker made this rug as a thank you gift for the political cartoonist who drew the picture - it captured the poignancy of war loss.

She spent three weeks working on it and I think the rug captures the drawing perfectly. Read the whole story here - it's awesome!

Saundra also shared this. It is truly poignant and the more people who read the story, the better. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing not only the rug but the story of the cartoon and the tragic event that happened in my nation's capital of Ottawa Ontario.
