November/December 2011

Join Rudy Junior as he prepares for a hockey game, admire the glamor of a hooked evening clutch, and prepare to decorate your tree with handmade oranments in this issue of Rug Hooking magazine. Even Gustav Klimt, whose famous painting is possibly ranked among the most reproduced works of all time, makes his appearance in the hooked rugs of admirers who use his "liberating" and nontraditional style as inspiration. You can also learn more about molas, inspired by the works of the Kuna Indians of Panama. With designs drawing from so many different places, people, and even time periods, this issue will be hard to put down.
