Since there isn't much progress to show on the horse or anything else new to report here is a rug show to please us all. First is Dueling Roosters circa 1920-40 and measures 19.5 x 34.5.
This rug was also up for sale and wonder if you Canadians know anything about him. Seems that since Dr. Drummond's Home was hooked he must have some significant standing. The rug measures 19 x 40 and Canadian made.
A view of the back and you can see there was some fading.
Noble Dog must be a Hutchinson rug and unfortunately I have no date or dimensions.
Big cat small tree and house. Sorry, no date or dimensions provided.
Hunter with rifle measures 22.5 x 61 and was hooked early 20th century. Notice the rifle is as long as he is tall. But then primitive folk art has cats as big as houses and those little things make the rug more endearing.
The auction house said this rug was 2 cats; but is it? Or is it a cat and dog or 2 dogs? Regardless, it measures 29 x 56.5 and hooked late 19th or early 20th century. Below is a close up of the one on the right side.
Here is a busy rug with birds, dogs and flowers with fan border. Said to be hooked late 19th or early 20th century using cotton on burlap 28 x 73.
A farm scene measuring 39 x 72 is a lovely rug with lots of detail; except I have no date.
A photo of the back and not sure why that cloth is attached to the binding.
A view of the ducks in the lower right side.
Temps are supposed to be around 57 degrees today so will go outside and pick up limbs which fell from the hard winds and clean up more leaves. I know that I live in the wooded area but OMG I think the neighbors' leaves are coming in my yard too.
Also plan to draw out my next pattern but still haven't finished hooking the horse.
