Creative Rug Hooking (Hardcover)

~ Anne Mather (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

All kinds of rugs fill these pages--at the front of the book as blueprints for ideas; sprinkled throughout the chapters as illustrations for certain textural points; and in one chapter as companions of four styles of color and texture. Tips come in all shapes and content, such as three ways to fashion human and pet eyes. The stories are another matter, yet they fit in seamlessly, without much interruption. "Bottom Star-Big Dipper," for example, chronicles the last months that a couple spent together--first, in preparation for death but, thanks to the process of hooking, living life. The 10 designs are more suggestions than step-by-step renditions. Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Book on Rug Hooking, December 2, 2000

By	Debora A Edgerly (Rockville, MD) - See all my reviews

Loved the pictures of the finished rugs in this book. They are very inspirational. Also the book is a great learner's guide on how to easily become more creative in hooking rugs. I look forward to using this book over and over as a reference and also just to admire the beautiful photographs in this book.
