The tradition of rug hooking is alive and kicking in the Heart of
Dixie. Through 844 images, meet the people behind these hooked rugs
of art, including a Hollywood great that gave it all up to hook
rugs in Georgia. Be incarcerated with Mississippi hookers at Jail
House Rock. Visit a Tennessee home with an all rug-hooking dcor.
Meet a Southern Tasha Tudor who is "the" expert on natural dyeing.
Take a look back at rug hooking in rural Alabama between the two
World Wars, and see what was considered elegant and all the rage in
1940s Louisiana. Rug patterns and original designs are also
chronicled here: lush floral motifs, intricate geometrics, Oriental
and Persian styles, impressionistic portraits, scenic landscapes,
and glimpses of the Old South. This is a great reference book for
all rug hooking enthusiasts, fiber artists, folk art lovers,
collectors, history buffs, and lovers of anything Deep South.
