There is a new trend in rug hooking a growing desire to express one's own favorite images, stories, and identity. Tamara Pavich wrote this book for rug hookers who wish to take their fiber art a little deeper through designing. Drawing on her own experience and the hooked rugs of friends and teachers, she has written a book to help stimulate our imaginations, make us comfortable with drawing, and inspire us. She presents thirty-six design ideas, ranging from simple to complex, to get us started. Nearly fifty rug hookers and well over a hundred original designs are featured in this book, the product of many imaginations.

About the Author

While living in Hawaii, Tamara Pavich discovered antique hooked rugs in decorating magazines, and upon moving home to Iowa in 2008, she immediately made it her goal to learn how to hook. Her first twenty rugs were strictly wide cut. It was, as she says, love at first loop. She took every opportunity to learn from teachers like Donna Hrkman, Pris Buttler, Anita White, and Cathy Stephan. With a doctorate in English, it was a matter of time before she began writing about rug hooking. In her frequent contributions to Rug Hooking magazine, she encourages rug hookers to take on a challenge a monochromatic rug, a master painting, an abstract design, a sepia photo adaptation, the Impressionist style. Tamara s second book, already in the writing, will feature several artists and illuminate the idea of self-exploration through rug hooking. Tamara writes, designs, and hooks from her home in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
