June/July/August 2020
On the cover
PELICAN’S CATCH, hooked by Sandra Grant.
Summer is here! And even though for many it may not be a typical summer, this issue brings you the same high-quality photos and articles that you come to expect. We’ve got a nod to the 4th of July with a Betsy Ross inspired flag as well as the Great Seal of the United States. Hook a charming strawberry and mouse rug by Fluff and Peachy Bean; learn to make rugs using discarded shirts; admire the incredible work from artists such as Aine Humble, Sandra Grant, Susan Gaby-Trotz and others. You won’t want to miss this one!
