As there's not much to show yet on the new rug pattern, thought I'd do an antique rug show. First up is a dog with scrolls hooked late 19th to early 20th century.
Stars and Stripes dated 1900's. If you tap on the rug you will see more clearly the Uncle Sam, the eagle and smaller flags. An attractive footstool top dated 1830.
A worthy wife as defined in this Hutchinson style rug hooked around 1930.
A diamond center with birds, sorta makes you feel like you're in the twilight zone looking at it. The auction house said 19th century but seems a tad too bright to be hooked before 1900.
A playful cat with someone's yarn, on oval rug circa 1930's.
Red rooster rug (say that 3 times fast) dated 1890. Appears to have damage at the bottom border. This 3 gal. stoneware crock would make a nice hooked rug, circa 1850. That's it for this post. Hope you have something to keep your mind and hands active.
Was a lovely warm day at 65* but heard on the news there just might be a couple "S" flakes this weekend. I hate to put the whole word in here because I don't want to lose followers, lol.

Thanks for the rug show. I kind of like A Worthy Wife. I like the background color. It warm and cosy. It's raining AGAIN here and I'm keeping warm with the wood stove.
