Patterns, dyed wool spots and yardages for traditional rug hooking.
My love for colour began in 3rd grade, when I complained that my new red shoes clashed with my clothes.
After trying many arts/crafts. . .I got “hooked” literally in 1971 and hooked voraciously on all design types.. While starting a family, I took the Mcgown course and was certified in 1979. Actually I was teaching well before that to intrigued friends. Once the Atha 1 school began, in 1981, I was enthusiastically “hooked” on all that group creativity.
About the Lib Callaway Collection of Patterns
Lib Callaway was a popular primitive teacher back in the days when narrow cut rugs were the rage. I remember her having full, dynamic classes in the 1980's at Atha 1 camp. Many of her designs stem from her love of antique rugs and folk art. There are over 250 patterns available in her catalogue.
...and her hand-dyed wools.
And when I began teaching “out,” I hit the road with relish. . .as of now I've taught in 28 states and Canada. An open class is always my preference; it encourages knowledge. Dyeing is a big part of my life, and colour planning is exciting to me even after 50+ years. Recently I sold New Earth Designs, which included many of my own designs. However, I am still designing and have retained ownership of Lib Callaway's wonderful primitive designs. It was an honor to be included in the first group to Celebrations' Hall of Fame.
