Believe it or not I was smitten with the original antique as soon as I saw it and decided to hook my own. First of all I wanted to start a 'plus one' to work on between main projects. Yet there were several other factors making it a great rug for me:
~ the antique had a multi-colored background I love (blotchy)
~ great use of wooly worms
~ easy no stress hooking
Perhaps this rug isn't aesthetically beautiful to some folks but to me it epitomizes the naïve primitive rugs made by women of yesteryear. After the holidays I plan to display it on the harvest table as this quick tablescape photo suggests. Right after taking the photo I put my Santa rug back on the table.
Then it will go on the floor in my kitchen.
