Hello!
My favorite part is to see you make the patterns uniquely you!
A LITTLE IMAGINATION
MAKES
ALL THE
DIFFERENCE
Art is therapy. It is proven.
Using your hands is good for the soul.
All of my patterns are original hand drawn available on linen or rug warp. Easily adapted to hooking, needle punch, and appliqué.
TRADITIONAL HAND HOOKED RUGS
HEIRLOOM.
I hand dye my wool, then wool is cut into strips and pulled through backing. Traditional folk art in every way
DYED WOOL
SO EXCITED!
We are in the process of making wool available for you in our store. Stay tuned!

Primitive Rug Hooking
Rug hooking is both an art and a craft where rugs are made by pulling loops of yarn or fabric through a stiff woven base such as burlap, linen, or rug warp. The loops are pulled through the backing material by using a crochet-type hook mounted in a handle for leverage.
Punch Needle
Punch needle is similar to rug hooking and entirely different. Picture a pen with a needle attached to the end. To use it, you thread the needle with your yarn or thread, then punch the needle end through your hooped fabric and pull up a loop of the fiber. It goes much faster than traditional embroidery, and you can mix and match different fibers, weights and stitch heights to create to-die-for textures and designs. It’s a lot of fun and there are a ton of tutorial videos to help you get started.
You may be thinking this sounds a lot like rug hooking, and while it’s definitely similar, it’s not quite the same. Punch needle punches the loops down into the work, whereas rug hooking uses a different tool to pull the loops up through the work. The two techniques actually form the same type of stitch, but the action is a bit different.
