TEACHERS
WANDA     CLASS FULL
“A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature.  It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”  ~Henry David Thoreau
In class we will explore our greatest treasure in North America, those lakes great and small carved out by glaciers. What lake dwells in your nature?   We will work from inspired photos of your own or supplied by me. I’ll tell you all my tricks on trees and rocks, lakes and sky. Learn how to apply the deep and the shine, the mystery that makes a landscape thrill. This is a class for people who dream, desire and aren’t afraid to try to do.  Join Wanda and explore to your heart’s desire.  Wanda is the creator of the Welcome Mat, an online studio, she is an award winning, fast hooking, tale spinning rug hooker as well as RHM’s dye columnist

She teaches or vends at 8-14 events each year and in her home studio.  She enjoys and hooks most types of designs, so choose what you'd like! Her specialties are: orientals, primitives with an antique look; folk art, pictorials of any cut, stained glass.  She also teaches geometrics, whimsical, or shaded.  She owns New Earth Designs (www.newearthdesigns.com)and most recently, purchased the Lib Callaway pattern business.

expects you to relax, keep an open mind, and enjoy the creativity!

SIBYL OSICKA
 My introduction to rug hooking began in 1982. I had wanted to make a Victorian style rug for my living room. I knew it could be done and I wanted to do it! This was my motivation to learn to rug hook. I signed up for classes and began with a small Oriental rug. I finished with the small rug and felt I was ready to hook a larger one for my living room, but my teacher said “slow down.” I had to first learn to crawl, then walk, and then I could take off running. I just wanted to run! I know I drove my teacher crazy. This is something I try to remember when I am teaching! By 1985, I was sponsored for the Pearl McGown Teacher’s Workshop. I then became accredited in 1989, this was the year I was asked to teach two different workshops and have been teaching since. I have traveled throughout the USA and Canada teaching and displaying my work. I continue to study and expand my knowledge in all aspects of the art. I try new subject matter continuously, working very hard to better my technique and the understanding of rug hooking. I can’t stress enough the importance of learning everything you can about rug hooking! Join guilds, read everything you can get your hands on and practice new techniques! The rewards are amazing!

KATIE ALLMAN 
I have been rug hooking since 1991, receiving McGown certification in 2010. I began teaching in 2006 in my home as well as setting up groups in neighboring communities. In 2007 I carried on the tradition of coordinating the North Central Ohio Rug Show and Hook in that had been previously organized by my retired teacher, Shirley Bloom. This event set at Kingwood Center in Mansfield, OH has continued to grow and bring as many as 150 hookers each year. It is an outreach that has introduced rug hooking and fiber art to the community. Hooking at the Lake is a retreat that along with my sister, Laura Fitch, is offered each fall at Lakeside, OH. A themed workshop is taught, like dyeing days, relax/spa, Deanne Fitzpatrick style, and shading with wide cuts I teach several times a month in Ashland (home), Wadsworth, and Vermilion. I have been a guest speaker and teacher at many guilds, workshops, and camps. I have served as past president of the Ohio State Buckeye Guild, currently VP. Presently a member of Ft Laurens Rug Guild, Lorain Hook crafters, McGown and ATHA, Currently VP of the Southern McGown Teacher’s Workshop..  I have hooked many pieces for workshops and commission. Favorite rugs would have to be story rugs like Alice and Wonderland and A childhood memory rug, Bradley Primitive. I enjoy fun, bright colors and hooking with an assortment of fibers and cuts.

In Memory of our Dearest Friend Jeannette Linahan



Dear Jeannette has brightened every life she has touched.  I feel blessed and privileged to have known her.  We will miss her.


Jeannette M. Linahan
Jeannette Mary Linahan age 89 of Manistee, Michigan died Thursday evening, February 26, 2015 at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, Michigan. The oldest of eight children, Jeannette was born on September 4, 1925 in Detroit, Michigan to the late Eugene J. and Ellen M. (Gendron) Rassette. Jeannette met John J. Linahan at the University of Detroit and they were married on January 26, 1948 at Saint Anne Catholic Church in Detroit, Michigan. They have celebrated over 67 years of marriage together. They moved to Manistee from Brighton, Michigan about fifteen years ago. She was a devoted and wonderful wife and mother. Her faith was a very important part of her life and she was deeply committed to extending her faith and values to her children. She was a member of the Catholic Community of Manistee (Saint Joseph Catholic Church). One of her passions in life was the love of theater and acting, having studied Theater and drama in college. She created beautiful flower gardens and enjoyed spending time taking care of them. She also enjoyed sewing and making clothes for her children as they were growing up, oil painting and rug hooking, being a charter member of the West Shore Rug Hooking Guild. As active as she was, she always found time to read and also instilled in her children the value of reading. 
Jeannette is survived by her husband John J. Linahan of Manistee, MI, five daughters and four sons in-law: Jane Elizabeth Linahan of Cudahy, WI, Ann Katherine and Robert Snyder of Ypsilanti, MI, Margaret Mary and Thomas Patterson of Durham, North Carolina, Suzanne Marie and Christopher Leonard of Tucson, Arizona and Kateri Rose and Timothy Richardson of Scottsboro, Alabama, four sons and two daughters in-law: John Joseph Jr. and MaryAnn Linahan of Queens, New York, Thomas Gerard Linahan of Calgary, Alberta Canada, James Patrick Linahan of Mansfield, Texas and Fred Francis Xavier and Julie Linahan of Howell, MI, seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren, her sister and brother in-law: Celeste M. and John Sura of Williamston, MI. Numerous nieces and nephews also survive her. 
She was preceded in death by four sisters: Ellen, Ann, Faith and Mary and by her two brothers: Peter and Guy Thomas. 
Mass from The Order of Christian Funerals will be celebrated Wednesday, March 4, 2015 at 11:00 AM at Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Manistee with Reverend John McCracken celebrant. Burial will follow at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Manistee. 
Relatives and friends will pray the Evening Vigil Service at 8:00 PM on Tuesday evening at the Herbert Funeral Home in Manistee, where the family will receive friends on Tuesday from 2:00 to 4:00 PM and 7:00 to 9:00 PM. The Herbert Funeral Home of Manistee is in charge of funeral arrangements.

2015 Manistee Rug School Fish Swap

Join us in Manistee Rug Camp's FISH SWAP. Create a fish, any size, any artistic medium, wrap it up and bring it to camp in June. You can hook it, felt it, sculpt it, paint it, bead it, quilt it or whatever strikes your fancy. When you wrap it up, put your name and a short description of how your fish was made inside the package. When you arrive at camp, all the "fishy" packages will be put into the pool. Later in the week, all who brought a package will pick one from the pool. This is an optional activity, but should be lots of fun. With the abundant creativity at our camp, there should be some fabulous "fishy" creations. Hope you will choose to participate in our Fish Swap. There were some very creative swaps last year!

2015 Manistee Rug School Mystery Challenge

Welcome to those of you who are new to our camp and special welcome to those of you who are returning. We are continuing the MYSTERY CHALLENGE original pattern from Green Dragonfly Studio / Christine D. Hornby , one of our teachers again this year.
She has designed an original MYSTERY pattern specifically for our camp. It is a 14 inch round pattern. That is all I can say. It will be a great beginner pattern, but will also be challenging enough for those who have been hooking for a long time. This is our MYSTERY CHALLENGE. The basic design is there, and you just have to color plan and hook. We will have a special area set up at the rug display during the week to show off everyone's individual interpretation of the MYSTERY CHALLENGE. We want to see them all, completed and in progress. To order the pattern ahead of time, contact Christine at hornbys@charter.net. The pattern is specially priced at $35 to students registered this year. She is printing and selling the pattern and will send it directly to you.
There are still a few spots open, so if you are thinking about coming, contact Karen Rorick at rosier313@msn.com

Below are examples of last year's MYSTERY CHALLENGE.   Come join the fun!
