We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects. Herman Melville (1819 - 1891)

Rug Hooking Workshop
Those who know me are often quicker to identify me as a "hooker" than a knitter because knitting is not my only fiber related passion. Years ago at a county fair, I encountered a wonderful lady who made incredible rugs from strips of woolen fabric and she taught me the gentle art of traditional rug hooking. Since then, I have studied with some of the best rug hooking artists in the country and this past week, I attended a workshop with another of them, Sue Hamer.
Here are two of the original works that she share with us as she taught about the use of color.

Trish,
The 3 dimensional quality & the color effects are phenomenal in this fiber artist's work. Just studying her pieces are lessons in themselves. Thank you for the pictures!-catenasart
...I forgot to ask, people don't actually walk on these works of art, do they?
