Antique Rugs

It's time to show more antique rugs.  A very damaged and faded rug with 2 cats.  Shame it has seen so much wear and tear.
A Sampler for a child named Francis hooked early 20th century 38 x 58.
From Pennsylvania a Mennonite rug in pastel colors with stripes, diamond shapes and crosses.  Said to have been hooked around 1930, measures 25 x 37. 
Thought the rug below was a hoot ~ a Canadian Folk Art rug of an oversize cat on a roof, apple trees and other animals.   Measures 22 x 30.
New England Pot of Flowers 1900-1910, wool and cotton. Dimensions are 33 x 41.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ~ this colorful geometric below doesn't do anything for me at all.  Yet other folks may love it.  Hooked mid 20th century and measures 22 x 36.
The geometric below does appeal to me.  Even with its misshapen  design I like this one ~ the colors and even the quirkiness of the design.  It measures 36 x 50 and from early 20th century. 
Happy the wind gusts have stopped as well as the rain.  Water water everywhere.

    Hello Saundra.... I am your newest follower I believe. I thought I had followed you previously, but apparently something didn’t “take.” I love the old rugs...but have to say my favorite is the New England pot of flowers. Since I am late to the party so to speak, can you enlighten me? Are these Pinterest photos or actually ones you own or have seen on exhibit?? And I absolutely ADORE that cat rug in your header photo.... Oh my heck!!! Did you hook that??? (Sorry for all the questions...I promise I am not usually like this in my commenting LOL).... Robin
