Caveat Emptor!

This book was a bit of a disappointment to me. I am a beginning rug-hooker and was hoping for more how-to info, as well as history of rug-hooking, e.g. how sailors used canvas to hook rugs while on long sea voyages. While I admire Ms. Fitzpatrick's work--stunning, to say the least-- I found the book too prosy, and bogged down by what inspires the artist. Yes, I can generate my own ideas from the work featured in the book, but overall the product was not what I expected.

Filled with over 30 patterns for coastal-inspired hooked mats and accompanied by the stories that inspired them, this book includes designs that range from those suitable for beginners to those that will challenge the experienced rug hooker. Each design includes a pattern, basic instructions and tips, a list of supplies, and a photograph of the finished rug.
