In May of 2023, Sarah Dudek created a beautiful print in response to the ongoing attacks on Trans Rights across the country. We bought one of the prints for the store and were thrilled to participate in a community printing event of Sarah's art in June benefiting the Trans Emergency Fund of Massachusetts.   Sarah Dudek's Instagram post put it so well, "Gender is hard.

This was the second ever h+h show in the US and it featured yarn, fabric, and notions as well as other craft adjacent industries.
