“What’s not to love about rug hooking,” say folks like me who embrace the craft. Making hand-hooked rugs is an activity born of necessity, of uncertain ancestry, upon the shores of New England and Atlantic Canada, about 200 years ago. It is considered by some to be the only original American craft.

My first floral rug, "Mayflowers," came from the memory of spring walks with my sisters. Hepaticas were my favorite early flower, very fragrant.
