RUG HOOKING CHIT CHAT

There may be a pattern order from a customer after the weekend.  A week or so ago she reached out showing me two antique rugs she was interested in.  One was a beautiful red bird with red flowers.

We chatted about sizes and then she contacted me saying she was interested in this floral antique instead.  Since she was leaving Wednesday (past) for an antique show I suggested she confirm which she wants when returning home this weekend.  After all, she just might see another antique rug she likes more and I don't want to draw anything on linen for naught.  

So now lets get to the elephant in the room ~ I need an antique fix since Animals Great and Small is all hooked.  But am having a difficult time finding a rug that makes my heart skip a beat.  Yes, I do have a 'plus one' which I've started but want a project that I'm excited about.  Here are the ones I'm considering.

Have hooked a number of Magdalena designs but not this Double Rooster rug.  If I do this one it would go on my kitchen floor.

Then was gravitated toward this antique Chicken Pair to go in that spot.  

Was still eyeing this horse rug.

This Deer Torsi, a 19th century hooked rug also caught my eyes.

I cropped the busy border off this antique horse rug previously shown, which is also in the running.  

After all that, I've made a decision.  Now I have a 'main event' and a 'plus one' guest when needed.
