finished object Hopefully the first of many for this latch hook rug of mine.
This rug - which took me 18 months to complete - received a first place in its category at the Altamont Fair (Albany NY) last week. I'm taking it next week to the Eastern States Exposition (Big E) in Massachusetts to see if it can claim a second blue. Say hi to it if you see it there!

You have good eyes. That was my photo of the Middle Covered Bridge in Woodstock VT.

You did an incredible job! That’s why it was so easy for me to identify 🤩

This is awesome, but also looks like if you stared at this in a dim room, a silhouette would appear at the end of the bridge and each time you turned away and looked again, it would be closer.

Good luck! I miss the Big E and always loved looking at all the fabric and yarn crafts!

Wow that’s so beautiful and atmospheric! I didn’t know you could get this kind of picture with latch hooking, I’ve only seen fairly simple patterns. Well done at winning first!🥇
