What I'm Reading ~

Good CHILLY morning

Friends & Folk!!

Peter lit the wood stove in the old farmhouse this morning to take the chill out….

I love waking to the smells of woodsmoke and fresh coffee ~

so comforting :)

I wanted to share with you 

two books that I can't put down lately…

and Miss Joan, 

if you're reading this ~

…hush. 

yours are on the way :)

The first book is

Wide Cut Primitive 

RUG HOOKING

~ by Wendy Miller & Rug Hooking Magazine (2104)

I am super-impressed with Wendy's ability in how she makes us (the reader)

feel like she's right there with us, guiding us along….

Wendy Miller is also the talented designer behind
The Red Saltbox

there is such a naive, childlike quality to her designs ~

 her rugs are whimsical and full of movement and color…

I know you will enjoy this book as much as I am!

simple, straightforward techniques from Wendy~
perfect for the beginner rug hooker and experienced!

The second book I've been  drooling over  reading is this:

Creating an Antique Look

 in Hand-Hooked Rugs

by Cynthia Norwood and Rug Hooking Magazine (2008)

it is so well written

and covers a variety of techniques used to replicate those old rugs we love

so very much…

wonderful photographs of antique and reproduction rugs ~

both of these fabulous books are
