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.

Those rooster rugs have always been on my mind. That would be so hard to choose. I have looked at that horse rug too. I have never done a horse rug. No matter what, it will be a work of art.
ReplyDeleteI like the roosters too .....whatever you choose will be fun to see !
ReplyDeleteI vote for the antique chicken pair!

I like the chicken pair....the muted, moody, colors are awesome. (Also really like that red bird - the first one you customer was/is considering.). ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteI saw on Facebook that Lori from Notforgotten Farm has a few more hooked rugs out that Spruce Ridge was selling. These reminded me of the first bird rug you showed. That is my favorite. The horses are my second. Whatever you hook will be amazing though. Janice
ReplyDeleteMy pick would be the pair of neutral hen and rooster. Maybe I'm just in a neutral mood, lol. They look like they are hooked in a fine cut.
ReplyDeleteNo matter which one you choose, it will be beautiful.
Hugs,
