Channeling Magdalena

There is always something about antique rugs which stir up questions I'd ask the woman if she was sitting with me.  Magdalena's rugs are no exception.  

First thing I noticed on the Great Granddaughter's Rug is that 'paw print' at the lower left of the lollipop bouquet on the left side.  It had to be hooked that way on purpose because who would use such a much darker value to fill in a spot?  And so I hooked it to look like the paw print too.

To save you time looking for Magdalena's original, here it is again.

My colors seem to be a little more bright so will need to tone it down with some black walnut juice after it is finished.  Am looking forward to working on the globe part but can't do that until all the lollipops are hooked.

Happy hooking, stitching, quilting or knitting....whatever floats your boat.
