Yesterday I did manage to design and draw a pattern but am not ready to show it to you yet as very few loops have been pulled. While I may be hooking, I'm still looking. Here are a few of my last finds.
The rug below isn't for sale, it is on display at Cogswell Grant and someone was kind enough to take a photo and it ended up on Pinterest.
Another photo from that same tour of Cogswell Grant is this beautiful setting. Below is a close up of that foot stool top and part of the rug. Sweet 6 petal flower chair pad measuring 16 x 17 from Missoula, MT. Don't recall where I found it and no date was provided.
Found this black cats and hearts rug today so is still for sale. It measures 23.5 x 36 but no date was provided.
When I saw this next rug, at first glance I thought it looked like a picket fence. No date provided, dimensions are 27 x 36. But when turned in the other direction it looks like just a striped rug. Checking out the back it may be older than I first thought and not so much like a picket fence any longer. Spot the dog. I've seen this rug on Pinterest several times in this same setting and wish I knew more about it. Finally decided to show it to you after having the photo saved for a few months.
Waldoboro blossoms measuring 36 x 66. Guess everyone knows by now that the Waldoboro style of hooking was developed by someone who lived in the town of Waldoboro at the time. If you've never heard about it you can read about it HERE.
As I've had this vibrant hit and miss rug in my 'not posted yet' photos since February 2024, I've decided to post it now. Dated circa 1930 from Ontario, it measures 32 x 35. Obviously not my cup-o-tea.
Saved the best for last ~ a horse of course. It is a yarn sewn and hooked piece from Nova Scotia dated between 1850-60. Happily hooking on something this evening even tho I'd rather be hooking on a horse, lol. Perhaps next time I'll have something to show you.

Wow so much movement in the background of the Ontario rug. That took some doing although not my cup of tea either. Still I admire the skill? patience? wackiness it took to do it. Hee hee it looks like Spot is tip toeing across those crocks on the mantle. I do like him
ReplyDeleteI love the horse rug too! (And the first rug and the foot stool!!) Another great show!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice rug show. I love what you find. I know what you mean, that is how I feel like when I am hooking chickens. All is right with the world. I need to try horses. The donkey I did came together so fast because I liked it so much. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is me above.
ReplyDeleteOh that hit and miss makes my head spin.
ReplyDeleteI can see you hooking that last horse rug!
