The Rug Hookers Bible: The Best From 30 Years Of Jane Olsons Ruggers Roundtable

I really liked this book there was lots of good information and it was nicely laid out. It was very helpful.

I have only been rug hooking a few years. Instead of bugging my experienced rug hooking friends all the time, I decided to purchase this book to answer my every-day questions. Its clear instructions and pictures are very helpful, and its advanced hooking techniques (again with pictures) are inspiring. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in pursuing this craft.

Loved the book. Dont loan it to anyone you may not get it back. Loved the step by step instructions and it has so much information for beginners. Beautiful pictures beautiful book.

I bought this book as a companion to Janet Reids basic book and this one is just a step up from Janets. This one shows various techniques and answers questions such as how do I do corners and how can I shade a flower -- worth the money

This is the most awesome, complete and clear rug hooking book you could find. Gene Shepherd its absolutely amazing!!! The book is full of close-up pictures showing all the basic techniques, step by step, with detailed explanations. A bit of history is also included as well as different styles of hooking the same motif. Theres a big section with directions, color photos and diagrams of the most common designs in rugs, like flowers, fruits and landscapes. It also includes a pattern of roses in original size. Its a wonderful book, full of tips and lovely designs. If I had bought it earlier Id have saved a lot of money, this is by far the best Ive read. If you want to buy just one book this is the one!

This Bible is a wonderful resource for the basics, as well as advanced hooking and dyeing techniques. As a beginner, I was surprised to learn of all the variations in design, composition, and color shading possible. It covers both primitive technique and precision hooking in great detail. This is the one to buy. Id also bought Purely Primitive, and it was just that--the very, very basics. I learned alot more from The Rug Hookers Bible.

Awesome book full of information.

A must-buy for any new rug hooker!!

Wonderful book for anyone who is just learning how to hook rugs. Im sure that I will benefit greatly from using it.

Very informative book. A good book to have in your library.
