About this Product

From a New Earth Designs pattern, I hooked this floral bellpull in lavenders, pinks, roses and greens.  A piece like this is shaded. . . uses narrow cut wool strips. . about 4/32" wide with each colour being in a range of values.  So, it is much like painting. I used an antique black mix of colours for the background.  Then, it was professional backed with a mauve material and attached to the wooden "hardware" top and bottom (not included in finished size of 8 x 48).  Occasionally it was brought out and hung for a few weeks at a time in my studio.  (A bell is not attached, as I had curious cats!)
Bellpulls are wonderful to hang in narrow but long wall spaces to add colour and interest. . .and do attach a bell to ring, if you want hubby to make you a cup of cocoa!

Thanks for stopping by!  You can also visit my website for New Earth Designs and Lib Callaway patterns. . .there are over 500 to choose from!  i'm looking forward to 2023. . in April i'm teaching at MD Shores again. . a wonderful ocean front event.  Contact Pam at lpt219@comcast.netAlso there is the ATHA 1 rug school in Sturbridge, MA. . uhookrugs@yahoo.com is the contact email.For  over 50 years, I have been immersed in all facets of traditional rug hooking. . . ..from dyeing to teaching; designing patterns and colour planning them.  From my own  dye formulas, I dye yards over  neutrals, pastels, and textures. . .thus creating hundreds of variations.  Spot dyeing is another specialty, and I routinely keep 200 different ones on hand.  All hooked items are made by hand hooking  strips of  my hand dyed wool that I've chosen for the piece.  Once i choose a  Lib or  New Earth design,  I print it on to a backing, usually linen.  The older ones I've made are on burlap, as that was commonly used until the late 1980's.  The rugs are finished off with wool yarn whipped over cording, and binding tape applied to the back.I first learned to hook in 1971, became a certified teacher in 1979, and have been "on the road"  teaching since 1989.  Hope to meet you soon at a rug school!

Meet the Maker

I have always been attracted by colour and artistry, and enjoy working with fiber, paints, dyes and  wool.  I became a rug hooker in 1971, and for over 30 years it has been my occupation.  As a certified instructor, I travel several times a year to teach this art. . and for it I dye wools, design and print patterns and hook as often as I can!  Here will be finished items for sale, and eventually some dyed wools as well that are currently on Etsy.  And perhaps a few other items as well!
