This review is from: Celebration of Hand-Hooked Rugs XIX (Paperback)

Each year for the past 19 years Rug Hooking Magazine has published this annual volume collecting the finest rugs narrowed from numerous entries and selected by judges for their striking elements. The result is a powerful pairing of a full-page, close-up color image of each rug with a piece about how the rug was constructed, and judges' notes. Libraries catering to hand-rug hookers will find this a key acquisition.
