Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisCanada's East Coast has a unique craft heritage that has seen generations hooking rugs during the long winter evenings. Hooked mats and rugs were originally intented as functional pieces--a place to wipe dirty feet at the back door, or a cover for drafty floors. But at some point aesthetics crept into this process, and those simple mats have evolved into the wonderful folk art rugs we see today. Nova Scotia's Doris Eaton has been hooking rugs for nearly 50 years and is one of the region's most well-known rug-hookers. A Lifetime of Rug-Hooking features over 80 of Doris's colourful and lively rugs and the inspiration and materials behind her art. Doris also shares some of her tried and true techniques, including her famous "Eaton Edge" for finishing a rug. With a foreword from fellow Nova Scotia rug-hooker and artist Deanne Fitzpatrick, A Lifetime of Rug-Hooking is a marvellous visual tour of the work of an influential East Coast folk artist., Canada's East Coast has a unique craft heritage that has seen generations hooking rugs during the long winter evenings.

I love rug hooking and this woman's story is great. Compelling is not the right word to use. It is a wonderful piece of history in rug hooking.

A Lifetime of Rug Hooking. A very helpful book for a rug hooker.
The book is full of good information for a beginning hooker, but also helpful to a person who has hooked for years. A very well written book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
