There are a few Hutchinson and folk art rugs listed for sale this week. Will start with the Hutchinson designs ~ Home from the Picnic measures 24 x 48.
The Circus, Oh Good is 32 x 32.
Not my ship, but a Hutchinson design named California or Bust 35 x 58.
The next one may not be a Hutchinson design but was among the group in the auction. Nero was probably the name of the horse and dimensions are 34 x 47.
I scoured the following folk art rugs to see if they were hooked by Nancy Gertrude Scott but they don't appear to be. A black cat chasing kids measures 19 x 38 and from the estate of Larry and Jean Dubord.
Another rug from the estate of the Dubord's is the horse and buggy. It was hooked early 20th century and measures 32 x 39.
This pot of flowers and bird rug was found in June but just now posting it. Was hoping to locate it again and learn more about it but didn't so showing it now. Wish they had posted a photo of the back to see what the true colors were.
Sadly I know nothing about this rooster and floral rug either. It looks a little too new, me thinks, to be considered an antique.
There's something endearing about the landscape rug below. Again there's no information provided, not even size.
Well that's it for today on this rainy day. Yesterday it got so hot the A/C kicked in. Today is 180 degree different and will probably have to put on sweats. But, will be a good day for me to hook more on The Ark. Happy hooking.

ReplyDeleteNice and cool all week for us , will feel so good !
Me likes the kids and circus ones. Always amazes me the talent of folks. Janice
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the circus one and the black cat chasing the kids (?). I'd likely not be inspired to actually hook them, but they are fun. (But gotta say, there is something very attractive about the muted soft colors of the Hutchinson rugs that I really like.). We're under a frost warning again tonight. I spent most of the day watering...only to come in and hear that. I give up. I'm done with plants for the year I believe.
ReplyDeleteHutchinson rugs are amazing. Talk a prolific hooker! Or were both Hutchinsons hookers?
ReplyDeleteLove the black cat chasing to kids rug. What fun!
Too funny. When I had a day job, we had an office cat. I was astonished how many black people were afraid of Sam, a grey kitty. Some would not come in unless we secured the cat behind a closed door.
Yeah that cat chasing those kids is a hoot and well hooked. I like the fence and ther perspective!
