This project was included in a Rug Hooking Magazine’s Framework Series book, Designs for Primitive Rug Hookers. You can buy the book on Amazon, but all the instructions you need are in this course.
Don’t pay a crazy price for this book. Call Rug Hooking Magazine and ask that they republish it. I’ve seen them republish a book when the prices on Amazon skyrocket.
Several links on the page are affiliate links to Amazon. I earn a small amount of money for referring you. I only refer you to products I use and the links are there for your convenience. Your price remains the same, you never pay more because the link is an affiliate link.
