Kris mcdermet has been braiding for 40 years and fell in love with braiding on hooking during her first braiding class when her teacher isabel clough mentioned that she had seen a few hooked rugs with a row of braid on the outside creating a frame. Last year kris and i curated the contemporary braided art rugs exhibit at sauder village rug hooking week and it was a very special time.
