A stag hooked 19th century with dimensions of 28.5 x 34. This rug has everything fun ~ a stag with blotchy colors, flowers in the corners and hit and miss of sorts in the background for interest.
This 19th century hooked dog rug has several borders but the scalloped inside border gives it character. Size is 28 x 46 and still for sale I think.
The rug below is an antique but cannot recall the date as that info was lost when my flash drive became corrupted. I keep the photo around tho, to remind me to hook it one day. Cats and birds hooked late 19th century or early 20th. Ha, bet you paused to hunt for the birds, didn't ya? I did also. Deep water sailor, a Hutchinson style hooked rug, no date was provided.
A floral hooked rug is not in my future. But for you who might, here is a basket of flowers hearth rug, circa 1890. Measures 31 x 61.5. Abstract or floral? I wasn't sure how to label this next rug. Size is 21 x 34 and would be a no muss no fuss, easy peasy hook for something to do.
The one below is definitely a geometric hooked early to mid 19th century.
A framed hooked cat (14 x 16) but with frame it measures 19 x 21. Said to be hooked 1900-49. Appears the cat is sitting on a tree limb. Wonder what is hiding behind that wood? A view of the back. There appears to be a puzzle used as support behind the foundation.
Another runner or perhaps a hearth rug of a dog, stars with a hit and miss background. I can't figure out what those other two motifs are.
Today we will have a heatwave reaching 37 degrees. Yesterday morning when I woke up to turn the temperature up on the thermostat this is what the temp was outside. At 7:27 a.m. it was 5 degrees outside, and that was after the sun had come up. Wonder how low the temps got when it was dark o'clock? FYI, stage 2 heat is when it is auto switched to propane heat from heatpump. That's it for this show, now to pull a few more loops on the Animals Great and Small. Happy hooking.

Thankfully temps seem to be climbing thru much of the US. Maybe the south will begin to thaw!
ReplyDeleteThat third rug has sort of been on my hooking bucket list, but will probably never happen...lol.
As I always say...too many rugs...too little time.
Stay warm ;-)
Quite the show Saundra! There are several here that I really like. I think my favorite, though, is the third one...something about the softness of the colors and design?? I also love the little kitty on the limb.The background on that is fabulous! We've warmed a bit too...but, it's still very cold. As I type this, it is -2º (that's the actual temp and the sun is shining) but at least we are supposed to get above 0 today. 37º would feel amazing! Enjoy! ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely rugs. I just can't imagine a that cold. I hope all is well,
