Our Mission:
As a destination of choice, Sauder Village offers guests experiences rich in history, hospitality, creativity & fun.
Date: 1 Day - Saturday, August 18, 2012 – 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. This will be a quick paced, special class; see immediate results as each Hannah mat hooks up. This day promises to be super fun in a party-like atmosphere. Supply description: Hannah’s Hen mat pattern (on linen or monk’s cloth) and wool to finish the project. Students Need to Bring: Basic hooking supplies: a frame, scissors, cutter, cutter blades #8 - #10, & hook. In addition to her great start with Emma Lou Lais she has taken classes from Jule Marie Smith, Heather Ritchie, Kathy Morton, and other neat teachers along the way. Barb teaches at The Woolley Fox Rug Camp in Ligonier, PA, Star of Texas in Fredericksburg, mini workshops in her home and some small “MINI mini” classes from time to time. Barb has coauthored two books with Emma Lou - Antique Colours for Primitive Rugs, and American Primitive Hooked Rugs. She has also written The Secrets of Primitive Hooked Rugs and American Folk Art Rug Hooking. She has written articles for Rug Hooking Magazine and the ATHA newsletter. She wrote the rug hooking section of Warren Kimble American Folk Artist book, the introduction for Hooked Rug Storytelling: The Art of Heather Ritchie book, and has had her work featured in books published in Japan and England, plus was one of the four featured teachers in a recent Early American Life Magazine article. Barb is the proud mother of two wonderful girls, Diane and Robin and the Oma of four wonderful grandchildren, Abby, Nick, Jack, and Molly. Specialties: Primitive and antique rugs in wide cuts. Barb’s approach to rug hooking is using total textures in the rugs, to create rugs that “push you a bit” and yet still reflect your personality -- and doing it with lots of fun and learning.

Description: In this one day workshop, everyone will be hooking the same 13” x 22” “Hannah’s Hen” mat. This is not a kit class and no two rugs will be alike! Barbara will be using some of those fun and special textured wools from the “You Ain’t No Spring Chicken” retreat so you can hook old, down and dirty, colorful and fanciful, or funky. Students will select from at least four different background wools, six or seven hen wools, eight or so wing wools, five or so ground wools and many fun wools for the hit n miss sides.
Level: Basic Skills – students must have basic knowledge & experience. 
Bio: Barb started hooking in 1987 with her good friend Bobbie True. They traveled to Kansas City once a week to take classes from the legendary Emma Lou Lais. That was surely a great three years.
After a move to Pittsburgh, PA she found many people who liked her style of primitive rug hooking and so the grand adventure began. As time and wools evolved the adventure took on the excitement of all textured wools and using cuts # 8 and above. Since her head is a bit on the “wacky side” the rugs all have a sense of fun and whimsy to them while reflecting the personality of the rug hooker.
