I am saddened to hear that Dick LaBarge, rug hooker extraordinaire, passed away yesterday. He and his husband George Kahnle, were quite a pair. Barb and I took a class with them called Dye and Design once, but we called it Fun with Dick and George because they kept us laughing the whole time.
Here is a link to his obituary:
