Story about the rug

This is the first project sampler Beulah hooked using solid and plaid recycled wool fabric (clothing) on burlap backing. The edges are whip stitched. Fabric is attached to the back converting this hooked piece to a cushion.
Beulah, a self-taught rug hooker, attended workshops in her local area of Weston, NS. She also enjoyed knitting, sewing quilting and baking.
