RUG SHOW TIME

Will start off with birds on flowers in pot, circa 1900.  It measures 28 x 39.  

Nicely hooked home said to be hooked early 20th century and size of 22 x 36.  Quite a good job I think; look at the value difference which gives the illusion of a porch floor.  As much as I'd love to have a hooked version of my home it's a challenge I'm not willing to take on.

A rather naïve hooked piece which I found interesting.  Notice the photo tab corners, X's for kisses, hearts and diamond shapes.  Perhaps this was a wedding rug?  Or is my romantic side showing 😍.

Another naïve hooked piece with scrolls, polka dots and hit and miss border.

I'm not fond of this rug and have had it on the flash drive for a few months and want to move it to a different folder.  So I'll make you look at it so I don't have to scroll past it each time I look for a rug to show.  It is sea shells and star fish.  Not sure what turns me off about it ~ the shape?  The brown hit and miss?

An apple tree said to be hooked sometime in the 20th century.  Am surprised before the auction house posted a photo of it they didn't clean off the animal hair.  I wouldn't mind if it was my animal's hair but if I was to sell it I'd clean it up.

A dog with lollipop flowers and no date provided.

A cat and dog rug hooked early 20th century measuring a hefty 26 x 57.

That's it for this show.  Now back to hooking the rug on my frame.

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.
