Rug Show Time
It has been a while since having a rug show on my blog and figure it is about time for my readers to see something a little different than the same ol' same ol'.
Above is landscape with black folk and their critters, rug was hooked mid 20th century.
Above are two bunnies, butterfly and flora from Manchester, NH. No date given.
Love the blue cat above and that blotchy background makes my heart skip a beat. No provenance at all was provided for this beauty.
I have always wanted to hook an antique rug with neutral colors and this just might be my target. I love doves and am not longer afraid of scrolls. Heck, those scrolls are easy peasy tho.
As previously mentioned on my blog, Barb Carroll took the fear of hooking scrolls from me when she mentored me with this rug. Yeah, you regular readers have seen this one before but it is my love and hangs over the mantle of my fireplace. (p.s. I offer this pattern for sale).
Speaking of scrolls, below is an antique rug which was recorded as "American School of of Folk Art Floral" and from an estate of Woodbury, CT.
Below is a close up.
Enjoy your evening everyone. I know Jo Wick and her group are enjoying themselves their second day of camp with the magnificent Barb Carroll. If you would like to take a class with her you can reach here HERE.
