In the previous post I commented you may recognize the rug by that one panel partially hooked. Uh, and then maybe not. Just realized this morning that it hadn't been posted on my blog previously. So here is that beauty which is now the object of my affections and is on my frame.
This antique Patriotic Shirred Rug is dated 1830, measures 32.5 x 71.5 and sold for $3,690. I drew mine out measuring 16 x 35 which will be plenty long for me to display on my harvest table.
Comparing what I've hooked and the original think I'll put a little wool in the pot to dirty up some wool before I continue.

ReplyDeleteOH my ~ love it!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this gonna be? Love the rich colors that are showing in your photo....although I do understand they are likely not true to the "original" colors...but they sure are purty now. But holy heck...hope you're not doing it 32.5 x 71.5 LOL..... ~me~
ReplyDeleteNice! And each section could be a rug on its own. Or maybe a needle punched mug rug? That might be a bit too matchy-matchy though.
ReplyDeleteWait! I think the coffee just kicked in.... 32.5" x 71.5" !?!? Are you hooking yours the same size? If so - Wow, I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the largest rug you've ever hooked?
