Old Fashioned Rug Show

Yeah, time for another one; rug show that is.  This landscape measures 22.5 x 34.5 and said to be hooked between 1910-1919.
An oval floral in a rectangle shaped rug for those who like to hook flowers.
A horse named lucky but have no other information.
I really like this farmyard scene.  Was hooked by Florence Williams from drawing by grandson Jovan Nicholson according to the documentation.
An 8 point star rug (20 x 46) with no date provided.
For the feline folks here are 2 cats by a fire given a date of 1923.  
A deer rug dated between 1920-30,measuring 19 x 33.
Mother and colt hooked early 19th century.
Wish the photo below had been taken at a better angle.  Has lots of critters, cats dog, butterflies, birds and measures 24 x 48.  No date.
One more rug for good measure.  I love this runner with diamond shapes with flowers.  Dimensions are 24 x 65 and given a date of early 1900's.
It has been raining non-stop since Thursday afternoon so have no idea how much water will be in the yard when it stops.  And, cannot imagine how high the weeds will be afterwards.  And it will probably be too soggy to cut the grass.  Oh gee, isn't that too bad, guess I'll just have to hook a bit longer.😊

Happy hooking.

  1. Wow...the rendition of the cats in the "cats by the fire" rug are phenomenal (although the one on the left looks to me like he is wearing a suit LOL). Sorry about your rain...we have some moving in tomorrow, but doesn't look like anything major and, hey - it's better than snow and/or ice. Happy hooking my friend...

  2. I like most of those. Especially the drawing from the grandson. Robin's comment about the cat in the suit made me laugh. Thanks for sharing.

  3. The cats do look like they are in suits. I like the last one most. Janice

  4. I wish I could have known the ladies who hooked these rugs. Just bits of history. They are all so lovely. Weeds do love rain.
