Hetty van Gurp, former co-owner of Moose River Rug Hooking Studio, came to interview me today for an article which will appear in the September issue of Rug Hooking Magazine. We had a great talk about Folk Art and Rug Hooking, it was really such a pleasure to talk to Hetty!
This piece will be submitted for a show at Argyle Fine Art..keep your fingers crossed!

This is me at my 5×5′ mini booth..yes, it is small but it is perfect for me. Perhaps one day I’ll upgrade to a larger booth…baby steps.
