Creating An Antique Look in Hand-Hooked Rugs Is A Wonderful Book!,
By RugBug (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating an Antique Look in Hand-hooked Rugs (Framework) (Paperback)
This is a beautiful and informative book. Cynthia Norwood has gone the extra mile in having these rugs photographed professionally. She is a talented fiber artist herself and she has given us a beautiful book that deserves a place in every traditional rug hookers' library. You will want one for yourself and several to give as gifts.Creating an Antique Look in Hand-hooked Rugs (Framework)
