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

this books gives you everything you need for rug hooking. You dont need any other book if you are either just starting out or a seasoned hooker

A must-buy for any new rug hooker!!

My friend has been doing rug hooking for some time now and it has always facinated me. Last year, she started me with a small kit and I have made 4 different rugs since. Since I have not been able to attend a class nor have had much time to get together with my friend, I thought it was time to get a book to better understand rug hooking and to know if I am doing it properly. This book has been very helpful with easy to understand instructions and pictures.

A must have for any rug hooker

This book is a wonderful reference for all aspects of rug hooking. Good images and great text from a master in her field.

This is my favorite rug hooking book, and I believe I own them all. The photographs are beautiful and so helpful, the instructions are clear and the authors go into the kind of detail that is really helpful to beginners like me, and I expect to experienced hookers as well. The two companion DVDs, if you can find them, are amazing and illustrate the beginning chapters beautifully. Learning by watching someone actually do the hooking is even better than reading about it. A lot of books for beginners gloss over some important steps, and you are left wondering how to correctly put the pattern on the frame, or which direction to hold your hook, or how to turn a corner, or how to fill in a little space,etc. I dont mean to imply that the book is at all simplistic, because the later chapters detail quite advanced techniques. I am only saying that it is detailed in a good way, which is very helpful. I expect to use this book for many years to come.

Great reference book,

I am collecting books on rug hooking and this one is a favorite. It has lots of pictures and information for all levels of expertise. You wont be disappointed with this book.

This book has so much wonderful information on rug hooking. It comes with basic patterns and instructions. It is a great resource to have if you are a rug hooker.

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.
