I love this Folk Art Memorabilia! It measures 19 x 38 but age and designer are unknown.
This is the back and as you can tell by the destressed foundation it is hooked on burlap. You can also see the original colors.
Next is a Landscape with hit n miss and floral border with dimensions of 31 x 52; date unknown.
That also was hooked on burlap and here is a view of the back and true colors. People, this is why you should use GOOD linen foundation and not cheap burlap. The background makes this Steeplechase rug a little difficult to appreciate. Circa 1930 it measures 30 x 42.
This wavy geometric is dated 1900's with dimensions of 36 x 38. The departed Barb Carroll had a student in her class working on this before she passed. I thought the project was interesting and later saw this antique listed on Pook and Pook. Another very primitive rug is Rooster and Goose. It measures 17.5 x 32 and hooked early 20th century. It is so primitive I'm surprised there aren't initials of BEM or NGS hooked in it. Speaking of Barbara E. Merry and her daughter Nancy Gertrude Scott, I have found some rugs which I haven't shown before. Won't post them tomorrow but you loyal followers usually scroll thru your favorite blogs daily so will see them when posted.
Not sure how you handle holidays, any holiday really. It really throws me off my game (that is if I ever had one) because I don't know what day of the week it is, if it a week day or weekend, what to do because TV scheduling is off, don't know if mail will be delivered or what the heck to do with myself; maybe after the new year I'll get my sea legs back. 😩
Happy hooking.
