Intentions were to give an update on the horse rug. But want to completely hook the horse before doing that. So it is a rug show instead. This rug depicts a dog barking at a bird in flight. This is a sight I so often saw my silly Rottie Panzer doing, he'd even leap in the air thinking he could catch them. No date on the rug but measures 20 x 38 and part of the living estate of Nancy Roth.
Advertised as love birds on the auction site, this rug is Canadian, circa 1930 and dimensions are 23 x 39. Yeah, had to stare to find those birds, eh?
An historical rug of New Deal Civilian Conservation Camp (CCC) near Frederick, MD. Another rug from the living estate of Nancy Roth (26 x 50). As a teen I remember our 4-H club would meet at the Georgetown, DE CCC Camp. If you want to know what the CCC Camp was about, you can read about it HERE. Horse rug dated between 1920-30. It's still a couple months until Easter but Walmart has their Easter inventory out already. So, to get you in the mood to hook a bunny here are a few ideas. This rug was said to be hooked 1930's. A bunny sunning itself. Found it on FB so no idea as to date or size. The shape of this bunny rabbit is stink'n sweet. Was given a date of 1900's and is a Canadian hooked rug measuring 28 x 38. Sure wish the rug photo had been taken full frontal. Sure appears to be an antique but no information was provided.
A naive rabbit rug measuring 24 x 35 was hooked late 19th century. Colorful rabbit rug hooked sometime in the 20th century so may not be antique at all. It measures 28 x 45. And one more for good measure. Am thinking this next one was hooked by the same person as above. It measures 18 x 40. Both are too colorful for me.
Welcome to a new week, happy hooking.

What cute bunnies. I never saw so many in the antique rugs before.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a lovely day.
Colorful bunnies indeed. I have not thought of Easter and we usually host it.

Barking at Bird is adorable! A story rug is special. The bunnies are so cute, it’s not easy to chose a favorite.

Ok... I stared at the "Love Birds" rug for longer than I will admit...but I was staring at the red scroll things and could only see a Venus flytrap plant or some ameba-type creature. When I finally decided to give up, I saw the birds in the center. Duh. ANYWAYS!! I LOVE that rug fourth from the bottom with the 2 rabbits (the one you said you wished the photo had been taken full frontal.) I'd probably scale or tone down that fan-like border, but even that is kinda growing on me.

I like the not full frontal rabbits. They look like the ones I see around here.

ReplyDeleteMore snow & sleet & rain heading our way , just as all the snow is finally starting melt ....guess that darn ground hog was right .....
Well of course this is my favorite rug show. I so love bunnies! Easter is out everywhere. Am surprised Halloween is not out yet. LOL Janice
ReplyDeleteThose are some shy Lovebirds!
ReplyDeleteMy fav is the tan bunnies with the tongue-ish (?) border. Not sure what to call them.
