Summary
The complete guide to creating and designing modern rug hooking projects for the home， from artist and teacher Rose Pearlman。
Punch needle rug hooking is a forgiving and satisfying fiber craft with stunning results， which is part of the reason it's undergoing a surge of interest， with Rose Pearlman--a longtime rug hooker and artist--helping to lead a new wave of enthusiasm。 Focusing on color， texture， and design， Rose's abstract designs for functional objects bring this traditional art into the contemporary craft world。
Through the 25 projects in this book， you'll discover the versatility of form and function that can be explored through simple materials。 Start with small projects to familiarize yourself with the process--a zip pouch， slide shoes， and a mini purse; from there， graduate to more ambitious pieces--a bolster， a reversible rug， and a catchall basket。 With your rug hooking skills honed， turn toward the innovative--a headboard made with plant-dyed and stripped bed sheets and art to hang made with repurposed plastic bags。 With details on the use of color， creating a strong composition， and using unusual materials， this is an artist's guide to an incredibly versatile craft。

I like to try different crafts and hands on projects。 I don’t have a lot of time for large projects but I find I like to keep my hands busy。 I’ve always love the look of this type of craft， punch needle， specifically for rugs。 Quite honestly it has always seemed very intimidating so I’ve never even thought about trying it。 I was excited to see this book because it is something I would like to try。 This totally took the mystery out of rug hooking and punch needle arts。 It takes some planning for I like to try different crafts and hands on projects。 I don’t have a lot of time for large projects but I find I like to keep my hands busy。 I’ve always love the look of this type of craft， punch needle， specifically for rugs。 Quite honestly it has always seemed very intimidating so I’ve never even thought about trying it。 I was excited to see this book because it is something I would like to try。 This totally took the mystery out of rug hooking and punch needle arts。 It takes some planning for your project but is completely doable。 I think more than anything this craft medium just takes time but it’s not complicated。 The projects look nice and seem like they have simple enough instructions。 I can totally see myself making the ditty bag。 I like the photos， they are uncluttered and simple。 Nice examples of the projects with good color choices。 I received a copy of this book from Netgallery but the review is voluntary and my own honest opinion。 Although I received a free copy of this book， if I was in a store and saw it I would probably have bought it。 。。。more

Pearlman's look into the history of rug making and her own experiences with the craft are very motivating to the beginning hooker。 Her description of the variety of media that may be used is inspirational。 I found that her explanation of the difference between traditional rug hooking and punch needling to be very helpful。 Pearlman clearly explains the basic equipment and vocabulary of the craft。 I love that the use of repurposed materials is common。 As the author moves on to preparing for and co Pearlman's look into the history of rug making and her own experiences with the craft are very motivating to the beginning hooker。 Her description of the variety of media that may be used is inspirational。 I found that her explanation of the difference between traditional rug hooking and punch needling to be very helpful。 Pearlman clearly explains the basic equipment and vocabulary of the craft。 I love that the use of repurposed materials is common。 As the author moves on to preparing for and completing projects， her step by step explanations are clear and are supported by photographs。 While my wish list of projects to do and the number of my unfinished projects are both growing， I am very excited about breaking my new punch needle out of the package。 I am grateful to Roost Books for providing me with a copy of Modern Rug Hooking in exchange for my honest opinion。 I was under no obligation to provide a positive review and received no monetary compensation。 。。。more

I have been interested in Rug Hooking for a while。 I understand that it is a craft that is followed more in the USA than it is in England。 This was a good comprehensive guide but I found it hard going as the photos didn't fill me with enthusiasm。 They were all very similar abstract designs。 Also the majority of the projects I felt were not very inspiring。 Instructions were excellent。 I felt the book was more for someone who wants to do it as an artist rather than a humble crafter。 I have been interested in Rug Hooking for a while。 I understand that it is a craft that is followed more in the USA than it is in England。 This was a good comprehensive guide but I found it hard going as the photos didn't fill me with enthusiasm。 They were all very similar abstract designs。 Also the majority of the projects I felt were not very inspiring。 Instructions were excellent。 I felt the book was more for someone who wants to do it as an artist rather than a humble crafter。 。。。more

I recently inherited some rug hooking tools and have been reading up on my new hobby。 Of the many books I have checked out from the library or purchased， this one is by far the best。 I do prefer more tradition designs to the contemporary， geometric design in this book， but the projects are well thought out and useful。 The introduction should not be skipped， and the Basics sections was very informative。 The photos throughout the book are beautiful。 Copies of this book will be purchased for my per I recently inherited some rug hooking tools and have been reading up on my new hobby。 Of the many books I have checked out from the library or purchased， this one is by far the best。 I do prefer more tradition designs to the contemporary， geometric design in this book， but the projects are well thought out and useful。 The introduction should not be skipped， and the Basics sections was very informative。 The photos throughout the book are beautiful。 Copies of this book will be purchased for my personal use and for my library。 。。。more

My sister used to do a lot of rug hooking， and I used to admire her beautiful close texture and patterns which she created， but I never attempted it myself as I thought it was too difficult。This book makes the skill attainable， the instructions are easy to follow and well explained， with a very good first chapter on the basic before you begin the projects。The projects are modern and easy to follow and will add that special touch to any of today's homes。 Starting with some simple and small projec My sister used to do a lot of rug hooking， and I used to admire her beautiful close texture and patterns which she created， but I never attempted it myself as I thought it was too difficult。This book makes the skill attainable， the instructions are easy to follow and well explained， with a very good first chapter on the basic before you begin the projects。The projects are modern and easy to follow and will add that special touch to any of today's homes。 Starting with some simple and small projects and slowly progressing to more difficult designs and items。If you are a beginner start at the start， if you are more experience start at any project that suits your skill level， you'll find a project to meet everyone's needs。 。。。more

So， I've had a small rug hooking kit that I picked up from a craft festival years ago but haven't yet attempted so when I saw this title available， I jumped on it。 Rose Pearlman has put together an easy to follow guide to getting started with rug hooking， full of useful tips and tricks。 She has included a variety of projects suitable for the beginner up to larger projects to make once the crafter has some practice。 Different supplies and techniques are discussed along with tools needed。 Overall， So， I've had a small rug hooking kit that I picked up from a craft festival years ago but haven't yet attempted so when I saw this title available， I jumped on it。 Rose Pearlman has put together an easy to follow guide to getting started with rug hooking， full of useful tips and tricks。 She has included a variety of projects suitable for the beginner up to larger projects to make once the crafter has some practice。 Different supplies and techniques are discussed along with tools needed。 Overall， a great guide for the new rug hooker！Thank you to Roost Books and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more
