Pearl K. McGown (1892 – 1983) was instrumental in the evolution of the craft of rug hooking to a tapestry art form.  Her life was spent creating connections, instruction, education, designing, and furthering rug hooking for the benefit of the teachers and students. Her dedication to all aspects of rug hooking ensured that her legacy would continue through her writings, the McGown National Guild, the McGown Chapters, the McGown National Teacher Workshops, her patterns, and her zest for recognizing and acknowledging that we all have something to learn from one another. Beyond these accomplishments, she used rug hooking for good. She quietly offered scholarships to the McGown Teachers who struggled to afford them. She organized volunteers and donated supplies to bring rug hooking to injured service members in hospitals. She even sponsored local Girl Scout Troops with a pattern, materials and a special rug hooking badge when they completed their first piece.
