They would be Barbara E. Merry and her daughter Nancy Gertrude Scott, both prolific rug hookers and painters. There are a few of their rugs for sale and at this time still for sale. This first one by Nancy I've never seen before, titled "Wedding Day".
Also listed is this fancy house with rainbow, man and cat.
My iPad alerted me of a freeze warning last evening so I covered my volunteer tomato plant first with a sheet and on top a light weight tarp so the moisture wouldn't penetrate. This morning when those were removed everything looks no worse for wear. But know this isn't going to last, and probably not even until those precious green globes turn to yellow.
Happy Hooking.

I think #2 has both slop & art. Cabin - definitely art. Border looks sloppy. Not criticizing just observing. The whole thing is art. Hope some of your globes make it to your salad.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and primitive. Glad your tomatoes survived.

No, I don't like the standing chenille wool or whatever it is...definitely looks sloppy to me...Then again, it may be that neon pink outline of the cabin that is distorting myy overall opinion. (It probably was red I know...but yikes.). I find the wedding day rug interesting, but still nothing I would care to own or replicate. Maybe I'm just contrary today.
ReplyDeleteI’ll take the easy way out today. Ditto what Robin commented!
ReplyDeleteNothing is tickling my fancy with these rugs today. Sorry just not getting into any of them. Janice
ReplyDeleteThoughts from a non-hooking reader...The standing chenille rug looks like it was done by 2 people. The center is OK, that door & walkway (?) makes me think this could be a good technique for things like tree trunks. The outside - sloppy, like done by someone new to the method, or done after a long absence from doing it. Or maybe Barbara got tired of working on it and wanted it done so she didn't have to look at it any more so rushed through it. It could be the fraying wool though?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the wool is sewn to the backing on this style. Could that by why the other chenille rug is nowhere near square - the backing got pulled and sewn to be permanently off-grain?
I do like the red roof on the last rug.
I don't care for the standing chenille ....the wavyness makes me dizzy . Interesting to see her rugs , I like how primitive she hooks .
