Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rug Art-RESCUED FROM OBLIVION is a delightful tale of discovery, but a sad reflection on the lack of preservation of North America's most endangered art form that has literally and figuratively been "tramped on" for much too long. Abandoned for more than half a century in the basement of a damp and mould filled former New Glasgow, Nova Scotia rug pattern factory, a determined research team found amazing pen and ink rug art created by an artist who is said to have studied in the same New York art class with noted folk artist Norman Rockwell. Under a leaking sewage pipe in that same factory they unearthed amazing hand cut Mystery stencils that are now rewriting the arts heritage . Their discovery heralds the oldest known commercial designs recovered in Canada, and possibly in North America and a unique pattern printing system hitherto unknown. The searchers found, and rescued from imminent oblivion some 550 pieces of original pen and ink art created by the 1892 factory founder John Garrett and his son Frank. In acquiring remnants of the oldest known rug pattern factory in the world (1892) they also unearthed three unique hand-carved full size rug pattern blocks and a mass of records of early pattern designs from across North America. An intriguing bonus was the salvaging of some 300 hand cut stencils created by a talented unknown artist. Measuring only 3x5" in size-each contained two rug pattern designs. Designated the MYSTERY PATTERNS preliminary research indicates they are the oldest Canadian rug designs ever discovered and possibly the oldest in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rag rug is a beautiful and useful piece of textile art that recycles used fabrics into something practical, creative rhythm. Using techniques such as weaving and braiding or hooking, a rag rug is made, in which the spirit of sustainability lives on by repurposing old textiles into something beautiful again. Rag rugs are usually a patchwork of various colors and patterns because they are made from leftover fabric scraps including old clothes, bed sheets or other materials. This could range from being a soft comforting feeling to something more rugged depending on the technique of crafting used and also what thickness of fabric strips that are utilized. When making rag rugs, there are several crafting techniques used and all these contribute to different textures and designs. Common techniques are weaving where fabric strips are intertwined to form an irregular pattern as well as a sturdy structure and braiding which involves plaiting of strips so that they coiled together forming circular designs. Another way is hooking, where fabric strips are pulled through a base material which arrives at magnificent patterns and designs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rag rug is a form of fabric that has been handwoven or braided using pieces of cloth, frequently derived from materials reused or considered waste. The term rag in a rag rug refers to the use of old or leftover fabric scraps, such as used-up clothing and bed linens and other textile materials that would otherwise be thrown away. These scraps are sliced into strips that then become woven, braided or tied together to form a robust and often vibrant ground covering. Rag rugs have deep roots and can be seen in different cultures of the world. Traditionally, these were simple and economical ways to recycle available materials turning old fabrics into useful items around the home. Rag rug making slowly developed into an art, as crafters tried out different weaving techniques, patterns and designs. Usually, the making of a rag rug consists in choosing and preparing fabric strips preparation for weaving or braiding with some frame. The final product may differ in scale, form and level of complicacy leaving a broad field for creative activity to those who like practical crafting and DIY activities.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Tools Required Latch Rug Hooking Frames Precut wool Locker Needle Hooking Pile Rug Making Rugs with Rug Guns Punching needles and other tools Rug Weaving Rag Rugs with Recycled Scraps Using a Shaggy Rug Tool Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was just browsing through my own personal library, looking at all the vintage craft books, but I did not find a book with instructions on how to make rugs. I could make Victorian crochet doilies, knitted mittens, scarfs, some articles of clothing called fascinators, and even socks and knickerbockers, but what about rugs? It is only later that I found out that according to the Victorians rug making was not considered to be a genteel occupation, which could be indulged in by the daughters and wives of gentlemen. These languishing ladies would sit in front of the embroidery frame, plying a needle, while dining of strawberries and cream, no doubt, while rug making was done by people of lower social strata. Nevertheless, we are fortunate that we have stopped thinking of such idiotic considerations in order to make rugs. So this book is going to tell you all about the art of rug making, and you are going to let your creativity loose in making these amazingly beautiful items for your home.
