Patti Mullins Colen
Art My Feelings: From Travel to COVID-19
A lifelong fibre lover, Patti Mullins Colen has journeyed from learning to knit early in childhood, to sewing, quilting, spinning, and rug hooking in retirement. She has been able to marry her love of documentary photography with the technique of rug hooking. Her work has progressed from designs based on her photography, to her ability to “art her feelings” about the world around us using fibre and a hook. Immersing herself in her art has allowed Patti to cope with the current Covid-19 pandemic.
Join Patti as she talks about her journey through her rugs and her own personal process.
Patti is a finalist in the 2020 edition of Celebration of Hand-Hooked Rugs, published by Rug Hooking Magazine. You can see and follow Patti Mullins Colen’s work on her Instagram at @thewoollycrone.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

So amazing to know some artist who really expresses her art feelings. so amazing that she achieved her passion and love at the same time. I hope many artists will follow what Patti did in her career and passion for Rug Hooking.
Your hope is mine as well, Roy!
