Volume XXXIII, Number 3

On the Cover: Canadian Geese, hooked by Helen Mar Parkin.  

It’s a wrap! Tie up 2021 with a nice bow and this wintery issue of Rug Hooking magazine. Hook a cheery snowman for your seasonal décor, rug punch a pair of doves to remind you of the joys of family. Create a clever workbox and learn about hooking with T-shirts, hooking geometrics, and how to create an abstract rainbow. This issue profiles two prolific rug hookers and shows us their inspiring body of work. We hope you enjoy your holiday season a little bit more with this compilation of rug hooking treats.
