THE RUG HOOKER'S NETWORK

"WEST ADVOCATE, NOVA SCOTIA"
Hooked and Designed by Jessie A. Marshall

I have been hooking rugs for many years and enjoy using a wide variety of styles from fine to primitive. I design my own rugs, mats, and have created unique three-dimensional renditions of life-size birds, including goldfinch, English robin, sandpiper, killdeer, parrot and puffin.

I also have created a unique New England village of little hooked houses, including a lighthouse, church, and gristmill from 3 by 5 inches to 7 by 11 inches for the lighthouse and and church. The windows are left unhooked in each building so that when lighted with tiny electric lights they glow, creating the effect of candlelight. The village is displayed each Christmas upon a field of imitation snow.
