Diane Cox, from Cornwall, England posed this video and since I love the title so much I thought I would shaw it with you here. Diane, and her friends have been to my studio for workshops and they are creative, spirited and energetic. One of the things I love about rug hooking is meeting so many creative people. She also had posted this little keep calm and rag rug picture to her face book page. I thought you might ike seeing what is happening in the rag rug world in England in the video below.

Hello Diane. It is a joy having you on my Facebook. I keep in touch with what is going on with you and your artistic group in Cornwall. I am happy to say I have hiked the coastal paths there, making my head quarters so to speak in St.Ives. Your area is my favourite part of England. Hoefully, I will return soon.

I love, love, love how they seem to hook with such joy and abandon. Most rugs look like they’re hooked from the heart and not a pattern. (The feeling is different!) Thank you so much for sharing!
I don’t know when I’ve enjoyed a video about hand hooked rugs so much.
