The rugs I'm about show you aren't antique but some may well have been antique adaptations. These have been documented as rugs hooked by a former member of the Duchess County Rug Hooking Guild.
According to the auction site she is selling a part of her collection. I don't know the lady's name who is selling her rugs as it wasn't mentioned on the web site. I can empathize with her because I've so many rugs and have my favorites which I rotate.
This rug below is my favorite out of the bunch and it might well have been an antique adaptation. If I find the antique among my photos I may adapt the antique myself.
This rug below looks familiar and might be another adaptation.
This geometric is always a great way to downsize on worms.
This one below is also nice.
Nice floral but I'm over floral rugs at the moment.
Hmmm, the rug next also looks familiar.
This rug looks like books on a shelf but was listed just 'as a runner'. Yet it would make another great de-wormer project.
I've seen this rug below somewhere before too.
This Sulky rug below was not among the rugs hooked by the lady above but isn't an antique. It was found in Prince Edward Island, Canada and hooked around 1967. Might be a 'memory' rug.
And this landscape was hooked mid 20th century so not an antique either. That's it for today's show. Happy hooking and I'm sure Lauren (Rugs and Pugs) is having a blast. She sure does get around, wonder how many hook-ins and rug camps that wandering hooker attends each year? If you're reading this Lauren hope you are having fun and happy hooking to all.
