Not a 'how to' book, but a tremendously varied collection of contemporary rugs from all round the world (though mostly USA and Canada) in wide variety of styles: Contemporary Hooked Rugs - Themes and Memories - by Linda Rae Coughlin - published by Schiffer. Available from Amazon, but cheaper if you buy from one of the other sellers on Amazon (or support your local bookshop by ordering it through them...)

A lovely book and great source of inspiration also has information about the featured artists including British rag rug artist Louise Creed (see Links). See "Listen to Your Rugs: Louisa Creed's Approach to Rag Rug Hooking" on her website.
ReplyDeleteWhoops! Spelling mistake! Louisa Creed is featured in the book not Louise Creed - to make it even more confusing her husband Louis Creed is also a rag rugger!
ReplyDeleteCLANG!!! Louis is actually LEWIS! Can you tell I'm new to blogging!!
