VINTAGE RUG SHOW

A few new finds and some which appear to be up for sale again as I've seen them before.  But those too will be nice to revisit.  Cats poised in front of a bowl of flowers.  No date or size was provided. 
Below is a view of the back.  As you can see damage is in the center, on the sitting cat's ear and all of the border.  Such a shame.
I'd call the next one a geometric with dogs, 19th century and dimensions are 39 x 44.
An early floral dated 20th century but didn't indicate early or late 20th so is anyone's guess.  Measures 36 x 39.5.
A wonderful landscape measuring a whopping 6' x 7' circa 1930's.  The front.
A view of sections of the back of the beauty and you can see it has been enjoyed and has been repaired.
An abstract with hearts and central 8 point star circa 1930.  I found it but cannot admit to liking it at all.  
A lovely fox and no date was provided.  It is from the estate of Kathrine Pease (Kitty Sue) and dimensions are 19.5 x 37. 
Rug with a horse and dog hooked 19th century, 26 x 50.
Home Sweet Home.  And it is a beauty said to be hooked in the 1880's and measures 31 x 50.
Have made my huge green salad for dinner with my home grown sprouts on top.  Now back to pulling loops on the bird rug.  But I must get busy and steam junk yard dog and bind it as I'd like to take it to Cape May in September.

Magdalena's Rooster, Duck, Horse Design

It has been a while since I hooked a Magdalena design and it feels SO good to hook one again.  Yet there are more which I've not hooked as she was a prolific designer and hooker.

Hooking antique adaptations is a great way to use up those leftover wool strips and particularly the ones you think are an odd color.  But they fit right in on an antique adaptation because they used what was available.  This is my small accomplishment so far but do have an excuse.
Other than just life getting in the way....yesterday I drew and shipped my design "Mache Jacks" to someone who is in a class in 9 days.  Today I drew and shipped a larger size Ox Farm pattern to someone in Michigan.  Thank you to both gals who ordered and hope you enjoy hooking them.

Good evening and happy crafting to all my followers.
