Fitzpatrick is a genius, but,
By Raspberry G. "Aspiring shepherdess" (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of Planning & Designing a Hand-Hooked Rug (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading this book, it is full of good information about how to be creative as a rug design artist. If I had a criticism, it would be that Fitzpatrick keeps too many secrets to herself. She expects the reader to figure out a lot of the technique by looking at the photos. As a person who likes to have lots of information at hand, I was left needing more. But the book is full of beautiful photos of Fitzpatrick's designs. She is one of the more non-traditional rug hookers, and I truly enjoy her style. I just wish she was better at describing it. But don't let this keep you from buying the book. I recommend it in spite of this teeny criticism. You'll get many good hours of reading and design tips.
