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.

What a lovely story. Amazing rug- the detail is phenomenal.
Amazing!
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.
That was a wonderful story and such a wonderful gift.
What a moving story and picture, the original and the rug. Just beautiful.
