Since my posting of the chicken pair on my frame, several readers have indicated having a recent interest in hooking chickens. As I've numerous chicken rug photos still not shown, thought this would be the time to do a 'fowl review'.
I love this rug with farmyard animals hooked 1930. It measures 39.5 x 66.5 and frankly just that left top section would be wonderful by itself.
No date on these chickens but dimensions were 21 x 40 being sold for $225.
A rooster and goose with no other info provided.
Rooster rug with hit and miss background and no date provided.
This rooster rug below I captured from an antique show display.
Yesterday afternoon thru the evening there were tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms rolling across the eastern shore. Thankfully no tornado touched down near me but I did have limbs to pick up. Others on the eastern shore had more damage.
My weeds are in need of cutting but it hasn't stopped raining long enough for the ground and grass to dry up enough. Today sun is to be out all day so am hoping by the afternoon I can get some cut. If not, I'll be working on my chicken rug. Happy hooking.

Chickens they are popular right now. I did a chicken rug once now where is it??
ReplyDeleteGlad no tornados in your area. We are getting rain this weekend the 20th weekend in a row for rain. I feel bad for those who work. I at least got to enjoy and work in my garden the sunny days all week. We had thunder and lighting around dinner and horrid rain. At this point it looks like my gardens survived.
I will put my feet up and hook this rainy afternoon.

Fun chicken rug show ! Love the blotchy background in Lots Of Feathers .....
ReplyDeleteWe were suppose to have lots of rain & chance of thunder ...it is less humid and beautiful ....come on weathermen ! Lucky for all the college graduations !
Glad you are safe after all the threats you had .
Nice chicken show. Glad no tornadoes in your area. The night of our storms I found out later that several tornadoes touched down on the west side of our state. I hate severe weather. Janice
ReplyDeleteAww don’t be too hard on Colorful Rooster. He reminds me of the fella on my Kellogg’s Corn Flakes box from my childhood. 😀 I confess I’m not a fan of live chickens…their feet creep me out! but your fowl review was great fun. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFunny you say there is an interest in hooking chickens of late... The very first "rug-sized" rug was a chicken rug...and I've not done one since. LOL. We had some tornados touch down near here 2 days ago. And, yesterday, a cold front came through bring another big storm. I stopped at the grocery store on my way back from babysitting and after the lights went out for the 4th time while shopping, I finally (tried??) to put things back and left. Cold (like 40's cold) here and looks to be all week and then some. Rats.
ReplyDeleteSo many fun chicken rugs! I have hooked a few different ones.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it dried up enough to mow...if not there should be great progress on your rug!
I love chicken rugs. I am so sorry that there has been such weird weather, its been a rough spring.
ReplyDeleteSorry, it published me as nobody.
