JUST ANOTHER RUG SHOW

This first beauty isn't hooked, it is Colcha embroidery.  You can read about Colcha and see a few other works HERE.

The rug below appears to be floral combined in scrolls.  No date provided but measures 19 x 34.5

Again no date was provided for this horse and rider.  Comes from a Vermont estate (12.5 x 16.5).

Thought this was a cute landscape but absolutely no information was provided, so I googled Muskoka and this is what was found HERE.  Perhaps someone wanted to capture and memorialize their time there in a hooked mat.

Colorful rug with yellow cat said to be hooked early 20th century.

Probably a chair pad is this chicken farmer piece.  It's sweet and was well used.

An eagle with a double border.  No date but wouldn't surprise me if this was a Frost design.

Don't listen to the Mermaid Lad ~ a Hutchinson rug.

A montage (jumble) of figures and animals.  Wonder if the rug below ls also a Hutchinson?  I have the booklet but am too lazy to search thru it to see if the image is in there.

And finally, several pics of an 18th century painted box from Lancaster, PA dated 1764.  This is the chickens and flower side.

This side has images of a couple.  Maybe it was a hope chest?

Below is an image of the top of the chest.

Another side depicting a peacock and flowers.

Finally a dog chasing a stag.  All of these would be great images to use in a primitive rug.

Did another small dye project again using the same dyes ~ Olde Patina and Pro Chem's mocho chino combined.  Will show you results in another post.

I've never enjoyed rain as much as today, finally the white s**t is gone.  True I've complained about the monsoons experienced here in the past, but I've always hated snow since becoming an adult.  Yes it is pretty when it snows then melts the next day.  But don't want foot high snow which turns to white ice and lasts for almost 3 weeks.  Looking forward to spring.

MORE CAPE MAY RUG SHOW and THROWDOWN

Will start by showing you three rugs hooked by Jane Sittnick which were hooked using a very hand-friendly polyester knit.   Although hard to see, the attached strips of the knits used she attached to the top right corner.  When visitors attended the show during her time in the room she sat, Jane used those to show how thrift shop purchases can be used to start hooking.  Click on the photos to enlarge.

Another fish rug is Mackerel and she has those fibers attached as well.  Amazing, and gives the appearance of having fish scales; great job Jane.

Another rug designed and hooked by Jane is this Moose where she also used alternative textiles.

Mary Glossner hooked the Hutchinson style mermaid rug below.

The Welcome rug is a Patsy Becker design hooked by June Madden.

Minnie the cat was hooked by Connie Tate.

Sue Menges hooked the pumpkin and crow rug and is ready for fall y'all.

Miss America hooked by Elinor Lundy.

Roberta Olah hooked the dog rug with geometric background.

The Run for the Roses runner was too long for me to get a complete photo.  It was hooked by Shelley.

HO  HO HO, yup, guess it will soon be time to think about the Christmas season.  Look at the tiny ornaments hanging at the bottom.  It was designed and hooked by Chance Allen.

Eastern Native American Frog was hooked by Leslie Stroble.

Below are a few of the rugs being hooked in Lucille's class.  Guess I missed a couple photos as there were 14 of us in her class and I don't have that many photos.  Oh well, here's what I do have....

Happy Home Happy heart by Lori Brechlin being hooked by Cindy Dillow.

Magdalena's Eagle hooked by Shari Vanart in #9.

Pearl and Earl, a Lucille design but can't remember who is hooking it.

Laura McElroy is hooking the pattern below; think she and Lucille decided to forgo the leaves on the trees and give it a willow tree appearance .. me thinks that was the decision.

The rug below is HUMONGOUS and being hooked by Deborah Curry in #8 cut.  It is a Keith Kemmer antique adaptation.

Sorry but don't recall or don't remember who is hooking any of these great primitives.  The first rug below must have been started prior to camp because there's no way someone could have hooked that much in 3 days ~ or at least I couldn't.

Another Minnie being hooked by someone.

Another Lucille designed rug below.

And yet another Lucille designed rug being worked on. 

Yes, I did start a rug at camp but I'm holding out showing it to you until I get more hooked.  Besides, I want to show you some of the wool being used in the rug.

Happy hooking, happy heart, lol.
