Artist Trading Cards
A hot topic at last year's ATHA and TIGHR conferences was ATCs (Artist Trading Cards). Have you heard about them? They started in the paper and mixed-media collage crafts and they spread from there into computer-generated and fabric art. Artists and crafters create playing card size cards (2.5" x 3.5") specifically to trade with others. The fun is in both the creation and in the trading and collecting. Swaps are everywhere. I have seen some perfectly lovely quilted and embroidered pieces.
For more information, visit the New & Noteworthy section of our website. Also, look for an article about hooking ATCs in RHM's June/July/August 2010 issue.

Welcome rugs - Do you have one? Have you hooked one?
Send us a photo and the story behind it!
The half-round welcome rugs, or threshold rugs, are a time-honored tradition in the world of hooked rugs, dating back to the 18th century. As far back as the early 1900s, possibly earlier, hookers could buy commercial patterns for these threshold rugs. They are a part of our history.
Are welcome rugs, especially the half-round design, still popular with rug hookers? We'd like to see what is happening these days with this charming, quaint style of rug.
Share your rug with our readers. You can add your rug to this site until May 31st.
