Your Online Rug Hooking Teacher

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.

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. ♥️
