JUST ANOTHER RUG SHOW

This first beauty isn't hooked, it is Colcha embroidery.  You can read about Colcha and see a few other works HERE.

The rug below appears to be floral combined in scrolls.  No date provided but measures 19 x 34.5

Again no date was provided for this horse and rider.  Comes from a Vermont estate (12.5 x 16.5).

Thought this was a cute landscape but absolutely no information was provided, so I googled Muskoka and this is what was found HERE.  Perhaps someone wanted to capture and memorialize their time there in a hooked mat.

Colorful rug with yellow cat said to be hooked early 20th century.

Probably a chair pad is this chicken farmer piece.  It's sweet and was well used.

An eagle with a double border.  No date but wouldn't surprise me if this was a Frost design.

Don't listen to the Mermaid Lad ~ a Hutchinson rug.

A montage (jumble) of figures and animals.  Wonder if the rug below ls also a Hutchinson?  I have the booklet but am too lazy to search thru it to see if the image is in there.

And finally, several pics of an 18th century painted box from Lancaster, PA dated 1764.  This is the chickens and flower side.

This side has images of a couple.  Maybe it was a hope chest?

Below is an image of the top of the chest.

Another side depicting a peacock and flowers.

Finally a dog chasing a stag.  All of these would be great images to use in a primitive rug.

Did another small dye project again using the same dyes ~ Olde Patina and Pro Chem's mocho chino combined.  Will show you results in another post.

I've never enjoyed rain as much as today, finally the white s**t is gone.  True I've complained about the monsoons experienced here in the past, but I've always hated snow since becoming an adult.  Yes it is pretty when it snows then melts the next day.  But don't want foot high snow which turns to white ice and lasts for almost 3 weeks.  Looking forward to spring.
