"Proggy and Hooky Rugs" by Miriam Miller
This
book is an introduction to the old skills of rag rug making, particularly
proggy and hooky rugs. It is a fun book, with instructions for rugs making,
pictures of some of the different kinds of rugs you can make, and lots of
colour. There is also a scone recipe and a knitted rug pattern, as well as
ideas for quirky projects (such as a tea-cosy and a hat) that you can make
using the rag rug method.
I hope
it encourages you to try rug making and brings to you the pleasure of creating
something interesting and beautiful from unwanted fabric.
Miriam Miller is a founding member of the
Australian Rugmakers Guild, was President from 2008 until 2012 and now
President Emeritus.
