The December 2024 issue of We Like Rug Hooking is a festive and inspiring edition, focusing on the theme of community involvement and creative expression through the art of rug hooking.
In the feature article, “Giving Back: Helping Your Community Through Rug Hooking“, the Duxbury Rug Hookers of Massachusetts share their efforts to give back to their local community, showcasing the powerful connection between art and service. Their work highlights how rug hooking can be a medium for creating meaningful change, reinforcing the idea that art transcends the individual and has the power to touch lives.
This issue also offers a hands-on project with The Pretty Plaid Proddy Pull Pillow, a delightful pattern that invites rug hookers to explore bold plaid wool combinations. Perfect for those who want to try something new, this project is sure to add a cozy touch to any home decor.
In Chasing Down a Textile Story, an interview with Jane Olson takes readers on a journey through the world of textiles, exploring the rich history and techniques behind the craft. For those looking for new patterns, there’s the charming Tree-Trimming Snowman Punch Needle Pattern and the Hooked Angel Rug Hooking Doll Pattern, both of which are available as downloadable patterns.
Regular departments in this issue include The Color Lab: Colors to Dye For, which offers expert advice on color selection, and Hooking 101: Backgrounds, a great resource for beginners. The Readers Gallery highlights the beautiful rugs of Mabelle Linnea Holmes, offering inspiration from a talented rug hooker, while the Rug Hooking Glossary provides helpful definitions for those looking to expand their knowledge.
Whether you’re an experienced rug hooker or just starting, this issue is packed with inspiration, useful tips, and community stories to celebrate the craft and its potential to connect us all.
