September/October 2011

Stuck in a rug hooking rut or need some help honing your skills? This September/October 2011 issue will fit the bill with its fraktur motifs and quilling techniques. Two designs even feature three-dimensional rug hookings: Mary Ann Goetz will get you in the mood for fall with her pumpkins, while Deb Lesher's bird nests will melt your heart. Diana Blake Gray will impress you with the little-known history of hooks themselves, and you won't want to miss reading up on one of the most creative couples in rug hooking today.
