New! Bling & Background

An intricate dance between fiber and fabric, the art of rug hooking is an expression of creativity and tradition. Join author Victoria L. Rudolph on a journey through the vibrant world of loops and textures, where each pull of the hook tells a story of craftsmanship, passion, and the timeless beauty of handcrafted rugs. Welcome to a realm where artistry meets fiber, and every stitch is a step into the rich history and boundless possibilities of rug hooking.

In this book, you will find examples of stunning hooked pieces made with wool, yarn, sari silk, velvet, buttons, beads, found objects, mirrored glass, gold, crystal, and other forms of "bling." Additionally, Rudolph demonstrates how to make Dorset and Singleton buttons; incorporate shisha mirrors into hooked pieces; and create whimsical, embellished quillies and quillie pendants. Whether you are an experienced or novice rug hooker, you are in for a ride down the rabbit hole of embellishment and passementerie methods that can be applied to your own pieces.
