Follow on Google News | Rug Hooking Magazine Releases New Book: Celebration of Hand-Hooked Rugs 27Entrants started submitting their rugs for consideration in October 2016. Four judges, Gail Becker, Peggy Hannum, Dianne Stoffel, and Michele Wise, evaluated and rated each rug, and the top ones were chosen as the winners. This year, there were 58 winners and 14 honorable mentions. Each winner gets a two-page spread in the book with a story about their rug as well as a short biography. The rugs were placed into four categories: original designs, commercial designs, adaptations, and primitive designs. Celebration winners are invited to showcase their rug during Rug Hooking Week, hosted each year by Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio. Rug Hooking Week runs from August 16–19, 2017, and participants can attend retreats and workshops with fellow rug hookers to work on current projects or start a whole new one. The theme for this year's Rug Hooking Week is "Year of the Man," celebrating the contributions men have made in exhibits, classes, and vendors. Those who purchase Celebration 27 will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite rugs in the annual Reader's Choice competition, hosted on the Rug Hooking magazine website (https://www.rughookingmagazine.com/ Submissions for Celebration 28 open in October 2017.
