The Craft of Hand=Made Rugs 
By AMY MALI HICKS 
The general interest in the arts and crafts movement has revived certain old- 
time industries and small crafts. These crafts should appeal to the amateur 
because they require such simple materials and equipment. It is the basis of this 
book to take these old-time methods of handicraft to revise and refreshen them 
by careful planning in color and design, and to add to them the art feeling of our 
own times.
