We discuss harmonious color combinations and balance of the colors; we select fabrics and get down to hooking. What if we also thought about the emotional message we wanted to convey with our piece? Consider how you feel in a room painted dark red or a room painted bright yellow.  Public spaces are painted to calm people or excite them—why not do the same with your artwork?  [11 Inspiring Rugs](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) [A Paisley Mix-Up](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - [Summer Lovin' Rugs](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - [Wonderscapes Rug](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - WOW! - [Summer Hummer Footstool](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - EXCLUSIVE! [Last Week's Most Popular Pattern](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - [Hudson Valley Sheep](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - For the Animal Lover - [Summer's Colors](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - [A Paisley Mix-Up](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - Reader's Choice! - [Your Net Summer Project!](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - WOW! [Pearl Cotton Sunflower](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - [An Unexpected Background](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D) - #1! - [This Rug is Also Not for Your Floor](2FM0EzgnXWPgtAUPbJ4MkkJPYi9T%2F8cf6%2BcD7p8%3D)  [Community Corner]( Marilyn B. shared this rug in our community group! "This is a rug I made of my sweet mother-in-law at age 13. I found it in a locket she gave me years ago which was as big as a postage stamp. I had the photo enlarged and then enlarged to the size of the rug and hooked it in 1 month of #3 & 4 cuts of 100% new and recycled wool. I call the rug "Annie at 13". (Note the ghost-mouse that I added). The rug is 25" X 30". I love the challenge of portraits."

With this project, we’re taking a step out of the box and doing something a bit different! A rug hooked wreath! This beginner-friendly rug hooking kit comes complete with a pre-printed pattern on monk’s cloth, pre-cut wool strips, cotton binding tape, color-key, and a hook!
