How to Hook Rugs with Deanne Fitzpatrick (Part 1 of 5)

Rug hooking takes on a modern and contemporary vibe at Deanne Fitzpatrick Studio. It is a world of yarn, wool, colour, creativity and design for rug hooking and fibre artists. If you are driving by you will see a big sign directing the way to go to Deanne Fitzpatrick Studio in Amherst, Nova Scotia. It is a beautiful place both in real life and online. Deanne has written eight books about rug hooking and illustrated a children's book. Her Sunday letters about art, life and rug hooking take a deep reflective look at an artist's life. She is dedicated to making rugs that are unmistakably art and helping others do the same through her online teaching. With many solo exhibitions in public galleries, including the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and The Rooms, her art work is also in public and private collections all over the world. Visit her at www.hookingrugs.com and open your world to a whole new level of art, creativity and rug hooking. Our rug hooking videos teach you about the creative art and craft of hooking rugs with yarn and wool cloth. From her studio in Amherst Nova Scotia, Deanne Fitzpatrick offers a live rug hooking video every Thursday about the beauty of hooking rugs. Deanne has written eight books on rug hooking, and has exhibited her rugs widely in galleries. Her rugs are in collections around the world.

Your videos are so helpful being new to rug hooking. I’m a quilter and cross stitch antique samples. Then just came across hooking or punch rugs and have been so intrigued and this art.

You are so talented to design , hook and talk all at the same time ! I am a brand new hooker in Collingwood Ontario

Thank you. I hope you love rug hooking as much as I do.

I’d love to come and visit and look at all your supplies but…….I live in Queensland, Australia and when I mention primitive rug hooking I get blank stares.

It would be great if you could teach some people in your community!

⁠I do plan to try and get more people interested but I am right at the beginning stage again. I bought a kit from Etsy in early 2021 and started to teach myself. But then I had a stroke and massive brain haemorrhage and have been in and out of hospital since. I now have a left side weakness from the stroke but my amazing husband sourced a rug hooking frame from the US as I can’t managed with an embroidery hoop any more. How I would LOVE just an afternoon in your company to learn the very basics to get me started 💖
