ANOTHER RUG SHOW

This title and 'what's new on my frame' are the two topics which receive the most visits.  Sorry, but nothing new on the frame just yet as there is a lot more to be hooked on 1911 Horse.  But sit back and enjoy some rugs for inspiration and hopefully some entertainment.

Dog with scrolls measuring 24 x 75 hooked late 19th to early 20th century.  Has the blotchy background I like.
Rabbits, Birds and 8 point stars hooked 19th century with dimensions of 37 x 38.
Three bulls eyes measuring 20 x 30 and said to be hooked around 1920.
The rug below and the bulls eye rug would make great companion pieces.  This rug was from the estate of Jonathan Rickard circa 1900 measuring 21 x 29.
Little Peeps hooked early-mid 20th century, 22 x 35.
With a closeup of the peeps.
Cats and birds, or is it cats, dog and birds?  No information on date hooked or size.
Animals and stars rug measuring 30 x 40 and hooked early 20th century.
It's hard for to to tell if this is a charging bull or buffalo.  It measures 28 x 38.
I found this rug of farmers praying interesting.  Perhaps they are praying for a good growing season.  No date of hooking but measures 18  x 35. 

NOTE:  Have been informed by Julia this is an adaptation of a painting by French painter Jean-Francois Millet who also painted The Gleaners which is another rug I've seen hooked.  Thanks Julia!!!
That's it for tonight folks.  Happy hooking.

    Two favorites stand out here for me - the little peeps (but I would not have so much surrounding background were I to hook it) and the animals and stars (third from last). That one really intrigues me. Whoever hooked it, certainly had an artist's touch - the animals are wonderful! Happy Monday MD.... ~Robin~ (TheCrankyCrow)

    Of course I do like the bunny one, but that dog one intrigues me as well! Hope you had a wonderful Easter! Janice

    Dog with scrolls is one big honker of a rug!
    Even I would go crazy bored hooking the Little Peeps background!

    I like the black animal silhouettes and stars one as well. I recognized the farmer praying in the field as a reproduction of a famous oil painting by the French painter Jean-Francois Millet. The painting is called The Angelous.
    It's a really nice warm and sunny day today. A real spring day and the snowbanks are melting fast.
    Hugs,
