Jessye Turbayne did a very nice display of them in one of her books. The Tobeys and Hammond are still very much in the Rumstick Point area of Rhode Island. Her rugs are a different primitive perspective than Barbara Merry. Molly was an incredibly productive little woman of barely q00 lbs. She used anything she could get her hands on to hook with...skeins of yarn <br />too. Good luck with your search.newburyartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13001833750863171101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-66666847187183355872020-07-10T07:51:05.593-04:002020-07-10T07:51:05.593-04:00wow, this is an amazing thread!

I can't imagine how excited you must've been when you found those two on etsy! I'm searching for rugs by Molly Nye Tobey of R.I. and havent been this lucky yet!Deana Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706199895004370380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-61408184915117313642020-07-07T22:29:53.860-04:002020-07-07T22:29:53.860-04:00Hmmmm....I am not familiar with her, nor her work....Hmmmm....I am not familiar with her, nor her work. It is a very uniquely primitive style and I a ma still trying to decide if I love or merely "admire"? That "Merrys" one certainly yanks at my heart....will have to let them sink in a bit more...and look back at your other post with her rugs. ~Robin~TheCrankyCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314851714923955216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480427156320353979.post-37453354959822947282020-07-06T16:46:45.551-04:002020-07-06T16:46:45.551-04:00Interesting!,!

However...we own 5 of her rugs as written on your other post. I first met her in the 1980s at the ATHA biennial held in Portland. She gave a wonderful presentation on her work and have met her numerous times over the past thirty years. Great...lively...inspiring...<br />Lovely. Think of what you want to know about her rugs.
