Our Mission:
As a destination of choice, Sauder Village offers guests experiences rich in history, hospitality, creativity & fun.
In this one day class you will learn the new and intriguing technique of hooking a message into your rugs. This message is only visible from the backside of your rug. The technique is magical and was originally developed by Beverly as a form of signing and dating rugs on the back, for those who didn’t want to put it on the front and also for those who wanted to put a subtle message into the rug they were making for family and friends. Beverly developed this technique so that “our rugs could talk!” If your rugs could talk, what would they say? Level: Basic Skills – students must have basic rug hooking knowledge & experience. Kit description: 12 3/4” x 9 3/4” Pineapple pattern on linen. Students Need to Bring: Basic hooking supplies: a frame, scissors, cutter, cutter blades #4 - #8, hook, and red or blue Sharpie pen. Students may bring their own wool or purchase wool on the day of class. Optional: Bring a simple 3-5 word message. In 1995, she organized a variety of designs into a catalog of rug hooking patterns and began the business of Beverly Conway Designs. To date she markets over 200 designs. Teaching nationally came a few years later. Her work has been published many times. A frequent guest speaker to many guilds and continues to teach nationally. In 2000-2002 she served as vice-president of the Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild and from 2001-2002 she was chairperson for the annual rug show, and a longtime member of ATHA. Beverly hooks primarily in a #8 cut, but loves to combine many cuts which allows her to capture more color. Specialties: Color, dyeing, designing, combining wools, and the Secret Message.

Bio: Having been involved in many different fiber arts since childhood, rug hooking was a natural evolution. Beverly began hooking in 1987 when a friend signed them up for a class in punch needle with Amy Oxford. In 1991 she began traditional hooking; she was, as most of us are, hooked! This was the art that allowed her to combine drawing, textiles, and a passion for color.
