Rug Portfolio

Susan Elcox has experimented with many forms of rug hooking:  floor mats, framed artwork, stair runners, wall hangings, pillows, hats, mouse pads, purses, table decorations, coasters and Christmas ornaments.  Her focus on the breadth of works within rug hooking is in order to experiment with the medium and inspire new students.

That said, Susan prefers to focus on floor rugs and pictorials.  Below is a showcase of some of her works.
