Friendship Padula by Rebecca Martin

Summertime brings thoughts of travel and this issue takes you to some interesting destinations. Ti Seymour, from Abu Dabi, treats us to a sunflower design sure to please. Visit a sheep farm in Virginia to see how Kathy Donovan of Checkmate Farms grows her fabulous wool. And speaking of sheep, a rug hooker in France tells us about her unique raw wool rugs. Janine Broscious takes us to the Southwest with her lovely cactus wren design, and returning back home again, Rachelle LeBlanc shares her three-dimensional approach to finding home through rug hooking. You are sure to find something to love in this summer issue of Rug Hooking magazine!
