NEW - Creative Journey into Rug Hooking
A book of color and technique for all hookers. A great reference book for all cuts of wool. It is an avenue of artistic expression. (published 2006) $33.00 includes tax, plus $5.50 for shipping.

Soft is Beautiful - Book I
Throughout the years I have tried so many different ways to remember the color wheel and its complements. One day I figured out this way of simplifying the progression of the colors. (published 1993, revised 2000) $10.00 includes tax, plus $5.00 for shipping.

Soft is Beautiful - Book II
I have tried to come up with some helpful ideas for pictorials and how to approach them. Within the subject matter, ideas in shadows, color and other helpful hints are also provided. And, more pretty formulas. $10.00 includes tax, plus $5.00 for shipping.
