Rug hooking is once again enjoying an increase in popularity. People have rediscovered the charm and heirloom quality of hooked rugs. Many people seek the older rugs, but the burlap feed bags many rugs were hooked on are not withstanding the test of time. The backing used today is far superior. Strong cotton or linen backing guarantees the longevity of a piece. Today's fabric dyes are much more permanent and designs can be very sophisticated. Today's rugs are truly "painted with wool" and can be enjoyed for generations.
Each of my pieces is an original design and typically contains hand-dyed wool. All are made of wool fabric on the finest and longest lasting cotton or linen backing. My products include rugs, wall hangings, chairpads and limited edition santas. I also cover antique chairs and stools.
I am a juried member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen and have been selected as one of the "200 Best Craftsmen in America" by Early American Homes magazine.
