On the Cover: Fruits of the Earth, hooked by Amzi Collins.



A new year, a new opportunity for inspiration! If you have been thinking about hooking a portrait, read how Tammy Pavich met her challenges by re-thinking her approach to this difficult rug hooking designs. If you love hooking AND you love punching, Rebecca Martin has the perfect project for you, combining both—a coin pillow (heads and tails). This issue kicks off a new series of article focusing on backgrounds—who doesn’t need a few new ideas for that? And to fight the winter doldrums, hook A Cup of Herb Tea, or make yourself a charming Easter Egg in sumptuous pastels. This issue will warm your cold winter days with projects and rug hooking stories. Be sure to get your copy!
