Book Reviews of The Complete Book of Rug Hooking
Book Review: Very Boring
Summary: 2 Stars
I personally found this book to be a big disappointment. The designs were extremely old fashioned and not very exciting. The details on dying fabrics were the only things worth while. If you are looking for a fantastic book on this subject look at "The Rug Hook Book" by Thom Boswell, it covers it all from where to get supplies, choosing fabrics (with lots of ideas for adding fun and unusual materials for texture and color), great patterns from traditional to modern. I just can't say enough. If you only buy one book.....this should be the one!!!Book Review: A good library book -- for home also!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a beginning hooker, I borrowed this book from our local library. It was so good, and helpful, that I did not want to return it. Especially helpful then (and now) was the leaves & flowers section and finishing the rug. I have purchased the book and refer to it often!Book Review: Wife is pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product as part of a birthday present for my wife. It was delivered in good shape and on time. She is very pleased with it and is teaching herself to hook rugs. Actually I found the chapter on the history of rug hooking interesting myself.Book Review: must have for serious hookers
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a serious, traditional rug hooker, or want to be, this is the book for you. Joan Moshimer was trained in the Perl McGowen style of hooking, but went out on her own with a bit more wimsey. This covers it all, including dying intructions.Book Review: A must-have book for rug hookers
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives very detailed instructions on dyeing. It covers jar dyeing, casserole dyeing, spot dyeing and gradation dyeing. There are also instructions on shading flowers, leaves and animal eyes. Order it before it goes out of print!
