Are you ready for an oldies rug show? Here's an attractive oval circa 1900, measuring 21 x 34.
Earthy colors are my favorite although I have done my share of colorful rugs, not neon bright, but those colorful rugs are my least favorite. Here are colors which draw me in. Don't have a date or size but isn't it lovely?
And this one below too. Again, no date or dimensions as this one was found on a FB antique show posting if memory serves me.
Below is a bowl of fruit with petite flowers on the sides, hooked late 19th century and measures 24.5 x 44. Hutchinson's Noah's Ark circa 1930. Sorry if I've posted this before, but will move it to the 'shown' folder so I don't bore you again. It measures 34 x 53.
Not sure how old this covered wagon and log cabin rug is, but it measures 18.5 x 29. Another faded rug of a landscape, no date but measures 22 x 36.
Below is a dog hooked early 20th century (24 x 34). And a view from the back. Looks to me as tho someone drew the design of a burlap feed or seed sack. Perhaps to memorialize their pet and maybe they ran out of grey for the ear and used blue. Just a guess as folks back then didn't have a wool stash like we do.
Stage one of the snow has diminished and didn't get the 12" they said, thankfully. Next stage of freezing rain should begin sometime soon I guess. Don't plan on going anywhere tomorrow as I've plenty of food and so far heat and electric lights work too. I certainly feel like a couch potato.
Happy hooking.

I sure hope you are not getting much for the ice storm. We are getting quite a snow storm now I need to head out soon to shovel the walkway and deck before it gets to deep.
