Rug hookers, that is.  Here’s a Post Script to this Saturday’s Herald-Leader Inside/Out feature story about Rug Hooking. (Click HERE to read the original feature article.)   The P.S.: If you’re interested in rug hooking , there is also an international exhibit up at the Carnegie Center in New Albany, Indiana.  which is just across the river from Louisville.  If you go to the Association of Traditional Hooking Artists’ (ATHA) show in Louisville this coming weekend, it’s just a short jump away.  The exhibit up at the Carnegie Center  in New Albany is called Stripes, which is a world-class, travelling Japanese-American collaboration of 56 rugs on display now through the month of October. What can you create using stripes?  A variety of ideas can be seen in this show. If you time it right, while your there you can also visit the Cat House Rugs shop in nearby Floyd’s Knobs, Indiana, too.  Click on the following links to find more information:
