Yesterday, I dropped off my previous latch hook rug, A Bicolor Sunflower, to the Big Es New England Center for the 2025 Big E. Apparently the previous category for latched hook rugs was only available for youth; now it’s available for all. And if I’m thinking about entering future latched hook rug projects at locales…

One thing to know about the New York State Fair. You want to garner that good karma. Do a good thing at the New York State Fair, and it will pay off later in the day. Or at least I hope it will. So let’s hop in the car and go for a ride, shall…
