Learning to Rug Hook is easy...

Once you get past the basics, it becomes all about inspiration and different ways to look at your art.  I'll teach you ways to go beyond blind experimentation.

A tiny tip can take you miles.

Have been listening to the podcasts and I must say I was skeptical about "just listening".  I have noted several good tips, the framing on landscapes, preparing recycled wool and marking new wool with tags for starters.
I like your podcasts!!! Are good for listening multiple times even.

I keep sharing your helpful hints and instructional videos on all the Maritime rug Hooking sites I have access to. Every week there is someone asking how to hook animal fur, or how to square-off a pattern, etc. When responding on Deanne Fitzpatrick’s site, I always say she fosters my creativity for textures, while you, YOU, give me the skills to be a better rug hooker. ♥️

Thanks for your brilliant tip to cut out some background on my project for ‘rug ‘school.
