Design Like an Artist: Using Inspiration from Your Favorite Artists for Rug Designs You wonder how these things begin . . . well, this began where the story of rug hooking began. I had just moved back to New England from the Netherlands, and my kids were about to enroll in school. I was back in a place where I could speak my first language, enjoy the seasons again, reconnect with old friends, and take the cat by the tail . . . if my life were a cat. While living abroad for many years, I’d become terribly homesick and enamored of rug hooking, which I embraced as a distinctly North American craft. Sitting and hooking for hours had somehow connected me to home. Loop by loop, I was buttressing my way to the past and, although I didn’t know it yet, my future, too. ~Deana David.
