We make hooked rugs in all shapes and sizes.

The biggest rug I have hooked is 40" x 52", the smallest have been punch needle, broach size, and I have hooked many rugs in between those sizes.

Sometimes I like to hook small pieces to give as gifts or to use as auction items for fundraisers. Hooking little mats is a great way to play with color, to experiment with an idea you may want to use later in a bigger rug.

The dove and squirrel mats were my most recent take-a-break, have fun with color and design, and see what might happen pieces.

I know there are a lot of creative folks out there. What sort of small project is on your hooking "to do" list?

  1. These two little projects are so sweet! My rug group decided to do a swap of mug rugs at our December meeting. We've shopped to find fun mugs at thrift stores, and are each hooking a 5" mat to coordinate with the mug. Mine is all finished and I can hardly wait to see what everyone else does - so fun!

    1. Thank you Gayle. My little squirrel was for a mug mat silent auction. I found the perfect maroon mug at the thrift store! So much fun!

    1. Thank you Kelley! I would love to see the little cat projects, once you can let the "cat out of the bag"!

  3. Sweet little mats! It never occurred to me to use a crochet edge on such a small project.
    Hugs :)

    1. Lauren, finishing with crocheted edge goes so FAST! I highly recommend it! Just be sure to have long strips of wool fabric, or yarn works well too! Thank you!
