Louise Tietjen Rug hooking as we know it today developed in North America, specifically along the Eastern Seaboard in New England in the United States. Rug-hooking has been popular in North America for at least the past 200 years.
One of the most devoted to this craft as well as one of my best friends is Louise Tietjen. Louise employs the time honored techniques along with fine wool hand dyed colors and a wonderful sense of art and imagination to bring forth truly wonderful work that I am proud to offer in my Artists & Artisans Store.
