The Art of Rug Hooking

by Anne D. Mather

“There is something about quilting bees and rug-hooking klatches that make for wonderful works of art....Mather has captured the spirit—and the how-tos....The real value is the promotion of a much-loved art for contemporary society.”— Booklist. Pore through a gallery of color photos of rugs, and then use these patterns to make your own. A complete primer fills you in on preparing the fabric; “stitches” and loops; and more.

This book shows that I have a long ways to go to get past primitive patterns. Beautiful work! Lovely patterns at the end.

The two page spread on dyeing wool is worth a loan from your local library. This book was written for a Canadian audience.
