Beautiful, Emily. Both the rug and the words.

(I’ve recently been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, an autoimmune disease in the same family as yours. So it’s particularly inspiring to read how much you’ve lived and accomplished after diagnosis. Thank you for sharing.)

This a beautiful piece of writing Emily, thank you! And I really love your wildfire rug. Do you know Deanne Fitzpatrick? She also creates rugs, I think her technique is called hooking rugs. She has a very beautiful weekly newsletter called Sunday letters, I thought you might be interested to learn about a fellow rug artist!
