Folk art by Sally Van Nuys at Folk 'n' Fiber

I hate to 'blow my own horn' as they say, but every once in a while I get the nicest emails from customers or from folks that I helped who emailed looking for information. I will share some of their comments here. It may be helpful to those of you who are reluctant to buy from someone you don't know or those of you who don't always trust buying from sellers online. If I have provided you with outstanding service or helped you in some way and you'd like to share your experience or comments with my visitors, just  just email me. I appreciate hearing from you!

"I just wanted to say Thank you for the how to video. I have wanted to learn how to rug hook forever, have struggled and given up many times. After watching the video and trying it again I actually hooked a row that looks fantastic!!!! I am so happy, words cannot describe how happy I am. I look forward to hooking in the future now, instead of just wanting to."

Folk art by Sally Van Nuys at Folk 'n' FiberFolk ‘n’ Fiber (former known as Amherst Folk Art & Rug Hooking) has offered hand painted folk art and rug hooking patterns since 1999. The business originally showcased Sally’s painting and antiques, and as her rug hooking patterns and kits grew in popularity, the business incorporated those as well.

After moving the business from Amherst to Lorain, OH., the name change seemed appropriate. Folk ‘n’ Fiber is a home-based fiber art business; Sally’s retail offerings appear on this web site, and also have a place at Etsy.com She conducts classes in rug hooking and punch needle embroidery in her home studio.

You can find Folk ‘n’ Fiber at Etsy, Facebook, and stay up to date with news and happenings via the Folk ‘n’ Fiber blog and newsletter.

“You are the best. I would much rather spend a few bucks at Walmart  (for measuring spoons) and save my cash for wool! By the way, I want to thank you so much. You have answered so many questions for me over the years and I literally taught myself to rug hook reading your site. I am soooo happy to be back in PA where wool and the prim look are more readily accessible. Spending 10 years in CO was good in one way though–since prim decor was very scarce, it forced me to make my own, and I fell in love with rug hooking. I am going to try to get to a class at some point, since I am sure there are things I am doing wrong, but until then it is such a fun hobby. And of course, they make wonderful gifts. . . OK, I have taken up enough of your time. Again, thanks for always being so nice.

About Sally

Testimonials

Sally has a medical background; working as a med tech and medical technical writer/editor for half of her career, Sally turned her art-filled hobbies into this little business on the web in 1995. Sally’s first serious affair with art began in 1984 when she started painting in acrylics. Tomorrow’s Heirlooms was her small, hometown shop where Sally taught painting and Early AmericanOhio artist, Sally Van Nuys from Folk 'n' Fiber stenciling. Along came her last two children

and the shop was sold; too little time to be with the kids. Sally learned to build web sites and soon had her own site to complement the Ebay shop where she sold her paintings. In 1999, Sally discovered rug hooking and her life took a big turn. She has been designing and creating hooked rugs ever since. The natural incorporation of her rug hooking designs and love of antiques became the focus of her business. With her life-long love of antiques and the stories they tell, Sally remains focused on keeping the past alive for others to enjoy.
