Newsflash--RHM is sponsoring its first ever swap!

RHM is entering the wonderful world of Artist Trading Cards. Some of you are already familiar with these small pieces of art, and for those who are not, check out the article by Kim Dubay. The fun of ATCs is in the trade, so we"ve decided to facilitate a card swap for our readers. Small projects suit the summer season, when we are all so busy and active. And these tiny little rugs might be just what you need as you look for a small, whimsical project to take on vacation. I like to have something small to work on as I sit on my porch on a summer evening; maybe you do too.

Consider joining us in this summertime diversion. For more information, read Kim’s article on how to make ATCs and look for the RHM swap instructions. Be sure to add your card to the ATC collection found in the "From Our Readers" section of our website below. We can't wait to see what comes our way!

Also, refer to the article about hooking ATCs in the RHM's June/July/August 2010 issue.

From Our Readers


Artist Trading Cards View Entries | Submit Entry
Rug Hooking Magazine is hosting an ATC swap. Are you interested in participating?

ATCs are small pieces of art, playing card size (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"), that artists and crafters create specifically to trade with each other. ATC swaps are everywhere - at artist and crafters gatherings, at guild and club meetings, even on line.

Recently, rug hookers have discovered card trading. Miniature rugs and mats are popping up everywhere. The appeal? ATCs are small, quick to create, and they let your inner artist shine. Frivolous or serious, quick and easy or meticulous and detailed-your imagination is the only limit. And when you swap ATCs, you are getting limited edition works of art from other hookers around town or around the world.

Please join un in the Rug Hooking Magazine swap. Click here to view the "swap" instructions!
