Welcome

..........to Shady Hill Rug Hooking

My website name describes where I live. On a hill, shaded by old oak trees, in a home with a beautiful porch where I can hook rugs.

The art of traditional rug hooking has been around for hundreds of years. Creating a hand hooked rug is still being done today as it was long ago, with the simple tool of a hook and strips of cloth. Now it is considered an art form. Rug hooking has no limit for creativity and imagination.

I hope you enjoy looking at the hand-hooked rugs, hand-dyed wool, rug hooking patterns and appliqué patterns that are on the following pages.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I am still working on my Gainesboro rug. And am determined to get it done by June, 2022. Summer and fall are too hot to have this large rug draping over my lap. Now that the weather is cooler I can work on it more often.
