Rug Hooking"









This has been a really fun project--made with strips of material . It is called "Rug Hooing"! On one of my travel adventures with Judy--we visited an Omish village--quilt shop and learned this techinique that uses strips of material 1 1/4" wide.. If you have never tried Locker Rug Hooking-be warned! It is addictive! The repetitive movement is peaceful and relaxing. Young and old, kids and men--all enjoy. Its simple, fast, and pretty inexpensive. You can use leftovers from other projects...anything you can pull easily thru the rug canvas. My imagination has been released......again! Uh--oh!
