A 19th century hooked rug with deer, bunnies and birds, the dimensions are 31 x 40. Love that blotchy background.
Perhaps a pet duck? Wouldn't be my choice of subject but someone cared for it enough to hook it. Said to be hooked between 1850-1900. Colorful rug of fern leaves; no date or dimensions.
A horse in pasture hooked early 20th century per the auction house. Size is 30 x 42.5. While no date was provided, I feel confident this dog rug is old. It measures 19 x 40.
This little lamb was hooked on burlap between 1900-1949. Measures 11 x 19.5 and only the motifs were hooked, not a background.
A Canadian chair pad. Wonder if it was hooked with nylons.
A perfectly stitched cat and tongue applique mat. I wouldn't want to do it, too much detail work, but it is lovely. Look at that wonderful hand work. Primitive birds and flowers on burlap dated early 20th century (24 x 39).
A lovely Frost Sheep with scrolls. I love it despite and because of it's blotchy and different colored scrolls, border and background. I love the one I hooked at class with Barb Carroll doing the color planning. Once I was petrified to do scrolls and now I love them. Here's mine below. There ya have it, another rug show put to bed. Have a lovely weekend. According to local forecast I'll be hunkered down with a few days of rain. And you know what I'll be doing ...happily hooking on something.

So many favorites but my most favorite is the little lamb on burlap with no background. It reminds me of the lamb cake I make for Easter although this hooked one is much cuter. My frosting skills leave a little to be desired 😉
ReplyDeleteThat cat rug is very sweet...and, of course, I love the Frost sheep (most specifically yours). Cold, wet and windy here too. Most places have so much standing water that, if it warms up, there will be a population boom of mosquitoes I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteMe likes both the bunnies and the horse. A wonderful show for sure. Janice
ReplyDeleteFun show. My fav is the dog about half way down.

I like the dog design too , the flowers on either side are pretty .
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting a downpour , thunder and strong winds any minute . We could use a good soaking rain.
I did a flea show today and took some hooked pieces. Just lovely comments , no nibbles on the hooked pieces . People were being careful with their money ....I don't blame them , but wasn't worth doing .
great rug show as always. In Lousie Penny's books there is a duck in that it swears up a storm so I guess they would want a rug of a duck lol.
