Welcome Spring!  On the cover: Field of Poppies  designed and hooked by Sherry Fiske. To see this  beautiful rug and read about hooking with yarn, please see the article in this issue. 

This issue is filled with a wonderful variety of stories, from hooking with yarn to the distinctive hooking styles found from coast to coast and how they are influenced by the quality of light found outside your window.  We also bring the history of rug hooking to to the past with a story about the Hooked Rug Museum of North America.  We have a fun pattern to tackle; a perfect project for spring.  There is truly something for everyone.  You won’t want to miss an issue! 

Don’t forget, we now offer you an opportunity to go back in time to the days before Rug Hooking magazine. We have digitized the first year of Joan Moshimer’s The Rug Hooker: News & Views and we are offering the issues for sale as PDF downloads. They're chock-full of Joan’s wonderful rug hooking patterns, hooking instructions, dye recipes, stories, old advertisements, and even a recipe or two for your dinner table. Joan’s charming black and white illustrations and thoughtful editorials are appealing and nostalgic. Join us in a trip down memory lane, a trip to our roots. To order an issue from the first year, click here. 

Rug Beat, our online magazine, also has lots of fun and intriguing stories ahead for the new year. So, just in case you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, we hope you’ll give it a try.
