Welcome

...to the Blue Tulip's rug hooking web site.

I hope you enjoy looking at the hand-hooked rugs, kits and hand-dyed wool that are on the following pages. Hooking rugs is the most rewarding craft I believe I have ever learned. For years I've worked on needlepoint, quilting and wool applique following my mother's love of the crafts and of antiques; our home was full of them. But rug hooking has 'hooked' me. The possibilities of design are endless, whether whimsical, primitive or traditional. You don't have to have an art background to learn how to hook rugs or even draw your own designs. Ideas can come from anywhere: children's books, magazines, your children's drawings. Let your imagination flow but most of all 'have fun'.
