Exclusive Pattern: Dog with Sunglasses

Grayson Dailey and Gene Shepherd are two talented designers. Gene hosted Grayson and his brother in his California studio for several hooking lessons, which were so intriguing and 
enticing that Grant’s mother decided to learn to hook. We all know that this rug-hooking bug is catching—it wasn’t too long before her two sisters and three or four other young mothers joined the class. From that one mini-class with Grant and his brother came a whole bunch of new rug hookers; Gene taught the kids after school and the mothers came back later for a no-kids evening class. All those beginners’ classes were sponsored by the ATHA Orange Coast Classics Chapter.
