Article: Old Coats and Hooked Rugs: How Sweet!

Old Coats and Hooked Rugs By Sharon Brown on September 6, 2010 This is the story of a very special little coat that touched my heart in 1948, wove its way into a rose patterned rug in 1954, then came home to live with me in 2010. It's also a story about hooked rugs, an almost forgotten art. » Read the article

Sharon...that really is amazing! I used to hook rugs and haven't done it for years. I was quite a Happy Hooker! Come to think of it, it was darn therapeutic! Loved this story and the memories that rug holds for you! Thanks for sharing. Container Gardening with KatG Please visit my new cubit: La Cucina di Kat aka "Kat's Kitchen" Quote | Post #393808 (1)

Funny Kat, I almost titled this article "Happy Hooker" then thought better of it! It is therapeutic, absolutely, I already have my burlap ready. Now I just have to find some wool. I might have to hit the thrift shops. Good to know that you've 'hooked', too! Thanks. http://allthingsplants.com/ Art And Artists * Blue Gardens * Writers and Words Quote | Post #393830 (2)

Thanks, Stormy. Mom would say: "there she goes again, tackling just one more thing. How many hours does she think she has in a day..." http://allthingsplants.com/ Art And Artists * Blue Gardens * Writers and Words Quote | Post #399069 (4)
