Dear Creative Rug Hooker,
Fall is in the air, and with it comes the perfect excuse to grab a warm cup of tea, settle into your favorite chair, and let your creativity take root. Our October Issue of We Like Rug Hooking is packed with heartfelt stories, imaginative projects, and cozy inspiration to help you celebrate the season—with wool in hand, of course!
Memory, Mischief, and a Touch of Magic
In New Rugs Hooked from Embroidery Designs from the Past, you’ll discover how antique needlework patterns can breathe new life into your rug hooking projects. Prefer storytelling in wool? Hooking Memory Vignettes invites you to capture life’s fleeting moments and turn them into beautiful, lasting art.
Want a little seasonal fun? You’ll love our Witchy Witch mixed-media project! With its 3-D elements and playful personality, it’s perfect for Halloween decorating—and a great way to mix traditional hooking with new techniques.
Celebrate Creativity & Community
Meet rug hooking legends Alexandra (Sandra) Reynolds and Ethel Eleanora Fuhr Walton, and discover the legacy of over 40 rugs created through their shared passion. Then dive into the Readers Gallery to explore 40 mats created for the 40th anniversary of the Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia—each one a celebration of community, color, and creativity.
Printable Patterns You’ll Love to Hook
- Peace on Earth Pattern – A whimsical design that incorporates playful text, basic directional hooking, and even pantyhose for texture and contrast!
- Autumn Bouquet Punch Needle Pattern – This pillow project uses the Amy Oxford Punch Needles and reveals the charming, embroidered-style detail of the reverse side.
