The wonderful folk art quality of hand-made hooked rugs endears
them to all who encounter them. Over the hundred and fifty year
history of their popularity in rural North America, thousands of
diverse rugs have been made by cottage industries and individual
craftspersons alike. Today older rugs are collected and cherished
and new rugs are continually being made. This book will be a guide
for antiques dealers and novice collectors alike. This handsome new
book preserves, for a new generation of interest in hooked rugs,
the historical background of the often whimsical designs and
instructions for starting a rug of your own. The sections present
over 300 color photographs of different rugs in lively geometric,
abstract, floral, animal, Oriental and original designs, and
factual discussions of the interesting people who motivated the
designs. The author takes a look at the prolific rug producers at
the House of Burnham, and gives the complete story of the Grenfell
mats of Newfoundland and Labrador. The contributions of rug making
promoters such as Philena Moxley, Pearl McGown and Joan Moshimer
are heralded with examples of their original designs and hand work.
After inspiring them with old designs, the author encourages the
readers to pick up some burlap, wool rags and a rug hook and follow
her step-by-step illustrated instructions to make their own rugs.
Then she explains how to preserve the rugs for the future.
