Last but not Least ~


Donna Hrkman is an award-winning artist and writer who teaches rug hooking classes and workshops around the U.S.  She has illustrated catalogs and books, designed her own line of primitive stencils, and was a fabric designer.  She is known for her hooked portraits and intricate hooked designs.

Donna's rug are amazing to see in person.  This is one of my all-time favorite rugs.  It has been displayed at Sauder in years past.


Some other rugs that have also been at Sauder over the years.






My favorite rug this year at Sauder was another masterpiece by Donna.



Isn't this rug incredible?  It gives me chills.


Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    Still mesmerized by the details and the shading. I can see it with threads, but wool strips??? Such a talent.

    Donna is definitely an extraordinary rug hooker. The Semper Fi rug gave me chills when you posted it among the other pictures before. Awesome.

    What a talented artist. Now those are rugs that really make a strong statement. So much thought and work must go into each of those rugs. I love the tones and quiet colors in these rugs. The images really touch the soul.
    Thank you so much Lauren for posting these for us to enjoy.
    Hugs, Julia
