Rug Hooking /Fraktur Class

 

Fraktur is a folk art form practiced by Pennsylvania Germans principally from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. The name derives from that of a distinctive German script marked by "fractured" pen strokes and the form has clear roots in European folk culture. Frakturs were used to document events such as weddings, births, deaths etc...Today was the first of my three day rug hooking fraktur class. There were 16 signed up and many had stopped into the shop to purchase wool.

 All of the beautiful wool Susan brought to sell.

 Margo trying to look like a sexy (rug) hooker!

 Here is Susan Feller from Ruckman Mill Farm showing some of her rugs.
