5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular!, January 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Purely Primitive: Hooked Rugs from Wool, Yarn, and Homespun Scraps (Paperback)

Being new to rug hooking, I was in search of a book that covered everything, from start to finish. I purchased, and read 4 other books, but all seemed to be lacking the perfect detail Pat Cross includes in all of her sections. If you are new to hooking, let this be the first book you read! Most of the other books have only black and white pictures, but her book is done in color photos- a must, if you wish to see all the detail in hooked rugs. I would definately purchase any other books Pat Cross has on this subject!

This review is from: Purely Primitive: Hooked Rugs from Wool, Yarn, and Homespun Scraps (Paperback)

Pat's book is a most comprehensive book on rug hooking in the primitive style...starting with a definition of primitive! Her style of writing is clear and clean...directions and ideas are abundant...patterns are included...and the color pictures just bring it all to life. Folks, get out your fabrics and hooks and start a great journey...you'll love it!
