Linda Smith

Linda Smith has been hooking rugs since 2010. She initially turned to her craft as a meditative and creative outlet to recover from the stress of her day job, the practice of law. Linda learns something new from each and every rug that she hooks and she makes it her mission to use recycled materials whenever possible. She relocated to Fenelon Falls full time in March of 2020. Hooking rugs has helped soothe the way during our troubled times.
