To entertain you while awaiting info on the next hook-along and the finish of the remaining participants, here are a few rugs to enjoy.
Looking forward to spring? Here are some bunnies ~ the auction site said it was bunnies and flowers. Although very hard to see in all corners and the middle there are other leaves or buds so guess that is why it was named Bunnies and Flowers. This is one time I wish they'd posted a photo of the back to see the original colors. I've had this picture on my flash drive since 2016 and finally showing it.
Two ducks swimming under stars and moon measures 19 x 35 and no date was provided.
Why did the auction house think this was a Fish? To me it looks like a geometric; unless they thought the fish had a tail in the front and the back. Came from Ackworth, GA and measures 25 x 41. Cabin on the Lake hooked on burlap 1937, you can see the date hooked in the canoe. In the collection of Kristina Barbara Johnson, the rug measures 84.5 x 84.5 ~ one huge rug.
Bouquet of flowers in and Urn hooked in the1900's measures 30 x 39. The scalloped edge adds more interest to the rug rather than having an oval or a plain circle.
This rug with Blue Birds was hooked with cotton (Lauren's favorite textile, lol), tap on the photo to enlarge and see the fabrics close up. It measures 17 x 37.
Another rug hooked with cottons is this Floral with a checkerboard background. It measures 17 x 39. I rather like this one but no more cotton hooking for me either.
Pastel Rooster has similarities to the antique I'm working on called Blue Bowl of Flowers. Welllll, only because of the pastel colors I guess. This Rooster rug measures 25 x 38
Today reached 60* and tomorrow is going to be great too. But then the bottom drops out in a few days. Have heard rumors of rain late tomorrow evening then turning to snow. Don't know what the result will be but my back pain and other arthritic bones know somethings happening.
Happy hooking and looking forward to showing you the other gals Granny updates next post, so stay tuned.
