This review is from: Woolley Fox American Folk Art Rug Hooking (Paperback)
The patterns and photos in this book are superb! This is one of the best rug hooking books I've ever had. The patterns are plentiful and EXCELLENT. I highly recommend this book to primitive rug hookers -- and to just anyone who loves folk art. This book is a wonderful treasure to peruse over and over again. It became my favorite book in my rug hooking library the minute I got my hands on it.
