Been Search'n

Yes, I've been searching for rugs again.  This dog with a red harness was hooked late 19th to early 20th century (35 x 54.5).  The listing only started at $10 and am surprised by that since it is well hooked and an old design.  So far there are 3 bids with price at the moment is $30.  

This E. S. Frost designed rug is still on the auction site with 3 bids for $40.  Dimensions are 24 x 38.5.

For feline lovers, a cat and kitten dated 1908 (32 x 36).

I enjoy deer who visit my yard but know many of my rug hooking friends don't.  Moose are BIG animals and there aren't any in Delaware.  This moose rug was hooked early 20th century and size is 22.5 x 35.

Another moose still listed for sale measuring 20 x 40, has one bid price now $75.

A Masonic rug with the free mason design in the center.  Circa 1900 measuring 28 x 44.5.  

A great looking steed below but am not a fan of the colorful leaf border.  Not exactly sure why I don't like it, but I'd not hook that border.  

Any rug hooking farmer wives who raise cows?  Here's a rug with diamond border, no date provided but looks faded and worn. 

Think I found this kitten cutie rug on Pinterest so have absolutely no info.

A landscape circa 1900, 29 x 51.  Appears to be quite an elaborate home with a well before running water.

For you beginner primitive rug hookers, the antique rug below would be an easy one for you to draw and hook while toning up your hooking skills.  Just get a plate, saucer, etc. and draw partial circles and hook with various pieces of wool.

Perhaps I've found my next project when the hearts hook-along and farm menagerie are done.  Or at least one of them is fully hooked.  It made it to the enlarging pattern stage but not yet put on linen.  Don't want to waste linen as I'm so fickle.  Will wait to see if interest is still there after one of the rugs in progress is hooked.

Happy hooking.
