Original Rug Hooking Patterns Welcome to Nana's Woolen Cottage Check out our Featured Artist for this month. Angela Anderson of www.pioneerprimitives.com Make sure you look under Featured Artist for some of her patterns. Here is a little about Angela: Angela Anderson started rug hooking in 2003, by teaching herself from library books! Then she took a class in 2004 and learned all about the mistakes she had already made. :) Angela started designing her own rugs because she couldn't afford to buy patterns, and her first pattern sold on eBay for such a good price that she decided to help support her family by turning a passion into a business; selling rug hooking patterns, hand dyed wool, and punch needle patterns, and by teaching classes on rug hooking and punch needle. She now has her own website, www.pioneerprimitives.com and runs the local semi-annual hook-in. She also collaborates with Cheryl McKinzey in designing the new Peaceful Living series of rug hooking patterns. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ OK, it is time to start signing up for the Hook-In.
