Humble origins have not confined hooked rugs to simple dwellings.
As the popularity of the craft grew and the appeal of the hooked
rug became apparent, it traveled uptown to cushion the footsteps of
the rich and famous. An international craft, rug hooking has become
a full-fledged art form through the dedication, creativity,
inspiration, and diligence of its devotees. This beautiful book is
filled with over 300 lavish color photographs of hooked rugs-some
from the nation's most elegant homes, some with fascinating
histories, some old and others new. The traits they have in common
are their techniques and uses, all having been created and
displayed with tremendous love. Jessie Turbayne includes many true
stories of hooked rugs in exploring the craft's background. She
weaves together its technical details, the materials used through
the years, biographies of great "hookers," and photographs of the
most striking pieces you will every see.
