Give a GiftDear Creative Rug Hooker,
When February rolls around, I really start looking forward to spring. In this month’s issue of We Like Rug Hooking, get ready to welcome spring when it (finally!) arrives, see color and texture in a new creative way, and get tips and insights to inspire you along your rug hooking journey!
Texture & Color
Remember the fun of sitting down with a coloring book and a big box of crayons? Get a taste of our Magpie Cherry Pie Pattern and get special tips on combining color, changing texture, and keeping your eye on the details—a lot like your old coloring books, but now in the form of a masterpiece you can display on your wall.
As we work our way from season to season, we’re following a punching path. Our Passion for Punch: A Calendar Hanger for Spring will have you smiling as you create a fresh, colorful calendar hanger to welcome the warmer weather when it comes.
When you pick a project from We Like Rug Hooking, it comes with a downloadable pattern you can print out and transfer to the backing you prefer!
And there’s plenty more in our February issue. See how you can make a beautiful sampler with a purpose — you might even have enough wool in your stash to get started! Check out the creative sampler: Thirty (Fun!) Plaids and a Plain.
Feeling nostalgic? Find out how one rug hooker celebrates the style and whimsy of cast iron doorstops, in Hooked Doorstops: From Cast Iron to Wool.
And learn how a new student of rug punching plans to share her new knowledge. Antique Vine, featured on our cover, is a tale of international inspiration.
Preserving One Tradition, Creating Another
Meet Doris Norman: Talented Canadian Creator of Phenomenal Rugs to see how she’s working to preserve the tradition of rug hooking in her home province of New Brunswick, Canada. And if you’ve ever been tempted to design your own rug, you’ll be inspired by Ardemia Negro: Hooker Turned Designer. What’s your favorite style?
Departments: Diverse Directions
In our Departments this issue, find out how one rug designer has consolidated her dyeing and you can, too. Get a step by step guide in The Color Lab: One Pan One Project. If your rug projects keep getting bigger (or you wish they would), read Hooking 101: Hooking Large Rugs to get some solid advice on preparation and perseverance. And take a trip around the sun with us for a fun tour in Readers Gallery: Zodiac Collection.
Expand your hooking skills, hook a rug for someone you love, or make something for yourself. Enjoy the creative convenience of downloadable printable patterns for special projects. Get inspired. Get creative. There’s plenty to explore and enjoy in the February Issue of We Like Rug Hooking!
