KINDRED SPIRITS

KINDRED SPIRITS was formed in 1986, when two friends began publishing patterns and books featuring rug hooking, embellished clothing, primitive stitcheries, whimsical dolls, quilts and other folk art pieces designed with a charmingly "naive" look.

Sally and Alice specialize in creative rug hooking designs, such as hooked dolls, clothing embellished with hooking, and hooked pillows. Kindred Spirits designs have appeared on several occasions in 'Rug Hooking Magazine'.

We invite you to visit our website to see our rug hooking patterns, books, kits and supplies. Our website also lists special events, as well as locations where Sally and Alice will be lecturing and teaching.

Our website is kindredspiritsdesigns.com
