Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I grew up in Central New York, took political science and English Literature at Syracuse University and have loved the subjects ever since. After graduation from Syracuse, I attended and graduated from its law school. I practiced law and invested in commercial real estate and have owned several businesses from fast food to newspapers. I am a musician and an artist and so books that I publish include those subjects. My First novel, The Jury is Out, is a legal thriller, the second historical fiction, The Lady is a Spy, covers the civil war era, a great interest for me, and the third novel, Forgers, Frauds, and Thieves, involves my love of art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it

I love kindle unlimited and finding these types of books. Like the OLD ones where people did what they had to do to “make due.” Not the DIY trend, but the dollar stores DO rack up and do I seriously need to buy all that stuff to recreate (sort) a replica of a Pottery Barn centerpiece for $40 instead of $90 during these times.
Kudos to those that can afford these hobbies.

I love kindle unlimited and prime reading. And I love digging deep and I didn’t even need to borrow this. It’s free as the copyright is expired and will I actually MAKE a rug. Maybe! We need a lot where I live. Keeps the house cleaner. And I dig up what’s on hand here at home. I’m not a hoarder but cluttered and like crafts and art.

A+!

In all honesty I only made it through a small portion of this book. It was a free download and I thought I might gleen some insight to making rugs. However, it had too much industrial jargan and after a short while I totally lost interest in it.

I found this sleep inducing. I was expecting a guide on how to actually make rugs step by step, and this is not it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rag rug weaving on a loom
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2016
It was published originally in 1900 by Doubleday and is available over on Gutenberg so all the illustrations are of course b&w. Ms Wheeler makes it clear that her book is aimed towards "It does not undertake to teach any one[21] who buys or has inherited a loom to begin weaving without any further preparation. The warping or threading of it must be seen to be understood, but when that is once learned, all of the rest is a matter of practice and experiment, and is really no more difficult than any other domestic art. One would not expect to spin without being shown how to pull the wool and turn the wheel at the same time, or even to sew or knit without some sort of instruction, and the same is true of weaving.

There are many old looms still to be found in the garrets of farmhouses, and where one has been inherited it is best to begin learning to weave upon it instead of substituting a new one, since the same knowledge answers for both. Probably some older member of the family, or at least some old neighbour, will be able to teach the new beginner how to set up the loom and to proceed from that to actual weaving. After this is learned it rests with one’s self to become a good weaver, a practical dyer, and to put colors together which are both harmonious and effective.What I have chiefly tried to show is how to get proper materials and how to use[ them to the best advantage. I think it is safe to say that no domestic art is capable of such important results from a pecuniary point of view, or so important an extension in the direction of practical art. Where it is used as an art-process and an interesting occupation, by women of leisure, it is capable of the finest results, and there is no reason why these results should not become a matter of business profit."
