SIT A SPELL FOR THE RUG SHOW

Have found a few new offerings, one of which is an antique rug from Charlevoix, Canada.  No date was provided but the auction house did say "antique" and gave dimensions of 21 x 35.

You can check out the fabrics used from this close up.  Wonder if that is a bell hanging from the collar?  

Probably a Frost lion, again no date but measures 32 x 57.  I love the blotchy background but the rest is just too ornate for me to want to hook it.  But others with a fancy toward narrow cut would love to hook it.

A Schooner, and yes a Bluenose design, measures 28.5 x 40.5.  Perhaps one day I'll venture to hook a sailboat as I do love the rug with the word AMERICA at the bottom.  This Bluenose is great but not something I'd hook.

A reclining dog with a hit and miss background and a date of 1902 hooked in the corner.

Someone wanted to create a rug so they drew a geometric with 6 point stars in a semi-circle.

A scrappy looking toy soldiers rug, hooked early 1900's.  Bet the boy it was hooked for was quite happy with his gift.

Perhaps someone wanted to memorialize their prize fish.  Auction house said it was hooked with silk and hails from the UK.  

A simple floral hooked between 1920-30.

Just blue birds but with a quite complex border combination.  

You can see the horse and initials GWMc and a date of 1787 clearly.  But if you strain your eyes you can see a faded house and something else on the right side.

Let's have another horse rug, hooked 1920's.  I believe this one is still up for sale.  Not crazy about the pink horseshoes but perhaps that's all she had to use.

Oxen hooked late 20th century so not old enough to be considered copyright safe.

There ya have it, an even dozen this time.   

I'll be busy tomorrow as I just pulled the last loops on the Eagle rug so it needs steaming, the hooking area needs to be cleaned up, room vacuumed and dusted.  Well, you know the routine.  Wishing you a lovely weekend.
