Rag-rug sample (looped/hooked) made with speed hook on 6x6 inch hessian backing, black frame with cream square and grey central diamond. Alison Morton tag tied to sample with hand drawn diagram and note ‘SPEED HOOK Worked from the back with a long strip of narrow rag’. AM notebook: ‘8th/9th October 1985. Made 2 more of Rag Rug – one with the long metal spike... The other sample was with the speed hook from Leicester – I stretched the hessian tight on wooden frame and cut the Rag narrower than for other samples and [?] through the eye. Very speedy and makes a lighter weight tight surface’.
