ANTIQUE RUG SHOW and ANOTHER PATTERN

This rug pattern isn't going on my frame it is a pattern for a customer.  The name of it is Apple Tree Farm of Cogswell's Grant and you can read about the historic rug and location HERE.

A floral dated between 1820-1840 measures 28.5 x  5 8.5.

I found this Farm Animals rug sweet.  Dimensions are 32 x 49 and hooked 20th century.  The starting bid for it is $50, in case you're wondering, no I won't be bidding, lol.  

Here's one Cathy might interested in bidding on with a low starting bid of $50 also.  Man in the Mountain, NH, size is 24 x 36 and hooked early 20th century.

Below is a close up of one corner  of Man in the Mountain.

This primitive landscape is adorable ~ it looks like a squirrel and owl in a tree, the horse is a very primitive childlike image and a dog running to catch a ride in the sleigh.  Wish I had more information,  don't even know size I  just happen to see a photo on Pinterest.

Valentine's Day is coming soon so showing Hearts and Diamonds with hit and miss border is apropos.  Sadly that's all I have on this too, no size, dates, etc.

Dog with pink collar measures 26 x 40 from the collection of Alain and Louise Huin.

For you feline fans...Cat with hearts, butterflies, fans and dated Jan1888.  Dimensions are 24.5 x 43.5.

A view of the back.

I've had lunch, shipped the rug pattern and now going to work on the 'forever floral'.  Perhaps you'll see an update (not a finish, lol) soon.  Normal January temperatures have returned albeit with some drizzle.

Happy hooking.

A Few Vintage Rugs

I'm in the mood to look at a few old rugs, how about you?  Every once in a while I just need that 'fix'.  

Welcome ~ the rug with a beautiful leaf border was hooked late 19th century and measures 31 x 60.

Primitive hooked Chickens measures 19 x 40 and the auction site dated it between 1900-1920.

Apple Tree Farm was hooked around 1820-30 and measures  33 x 58.  

Below is a well worn rug of a Chicken with a neutral hit and miss striped border.  It  measures 41 x 57.

Here is a flower pot with geometric corners but no dimensions or date provided.

Documented as Maria Beck Warning's Rabbits (1884) it is offered by the Textile Museum of Canada.  The rug measures  27 x 53.

Gee, there isn't one horse rug here so better go find one.  Hmm, let's make that two😊.  Two versions of Hutchinson designs about the Father of our Country George Washington.

Happy hooking and would like to thank everyone for the kind words you said about my profile of Ben so far.
