THE SEARCH GOES ON

Am always looking for lovely old rugs to share with readers who, like me, enjoy looking at them or maybe looking for their next project.  However this nice beaver rug won't be the one on my frame next although it is a lovely rug.  This is a Canadian rug hooked early 20th century and is cotton on burlap.   

A great weathervane horse rug but don't know date hooked so am scared to draw this not knowing if it is an actual antique.

A floral and scrolls hooked early 20th century.  

Another floral with scrolls plus hit and miss background, no date but think it is a legit antique.  Yet I've no desire to hook either of those beauties.

A kitten on oval mat measuring 19.5 x 36 and hooked early 20th century.

Here's a huge rug I've shown before but which I may adapt for my next project ... maybe, lol.  Listed as a Magdalena rug dated 1890 and a huge 45 x 115.  If I do hook it I'll eliminate the left side panel of the square, turtle and bird which will make it a tad shorter.

A yarn sewn runner circa 19th century 33.5" long.  Doing those type rugs must have been tedious sewing the yarn on vs. hooking with loops.  But guess it would require less yarn since the yarn would remain on top.

Sweet rug of two rabbits sharing (?) one carrot.  No date was provided but it does have the appearance of an oldie.

The colorful rug below I saved on my flash drive back in 2016 but never posted it because of the colors.  Am wondering if this is the back because those look like repair patches on the right side. No date was provided yet think it is an antique.  If it isn't an antique someone sure did a great job making it look so. 

This owl rug I found in a July 1992 issue of Country Living magazine.  Description was it is an early 20th century rug.  Often I've thought of hooking it, but haven't done so yet.

A dog with a leaf in all corners, no other info provided in the auction.

Well kiddo's that's the show for today.  I wanted to get this posted yesterday but was too busy with washing curtains, washing windows and washing my latest purchases of wool (I must be crazy as I don't need more).  So didn't get a lot of hooking in either.  Today I plan to change that when I should be outside doing yard work while temps are still mild ~ oh well, oh hell, lol.
