RUG SHOW TIME

There are goodies, some funnies and perhaps some uglies.  But any rug show is a good show in my book.  Easter is very close and found this beautiful hooked rug on Pinterest but don't have a date, sorry.  Usually when finding things on Pinterest I try to backtrack to the original source which is usually an auction site for info, not this time.  Am sure Janice will love this one.

This whimsical duck rug (22 x 36.5) is from the collection of Drs Hill and George Waynick.  No date was provided but think it may be a Canadian hooked piece.

The rug below was said to be hooked in the 1900's but don't know if early or late.  It's sweet and would have made an adorable rug for a child's room.

Very primitive cat rug below looks old to me but have no date to confirm that.  Poor kitties look so forlorn and all I could think of, IF I was to give it a name, would be "Pete and Repete".

This one below is from Fiddlers Antiques which I found on Facebook.

What animal do you think this is shown below?  I think it has the body of a horse.  The auction house is advertising it as "standing dog eating a bone".  Was written to be hooked mid 20th century.  Doesn't look like any dog I've ever seen.

A floral found on Fiddler's Antique shop.

Two grey cats from the same Antique shop.

The horse rug is a new addition to the on-line auction house offerings.  Hooked sometime in the 20th century and dimensions are 24 x 38.

The rubber ducky rug brings back memories of Barb Carroll's Koi pond filled with rubber ducks a bunch of us purchased.  Here is said rug:

Here is a photo of Barb's duck filled Koi pond:

Last but not least....a week or so ago I posted the photo of a cat the auction house named Racoon Cat.  Someone could have gotten a great deal because I watched the count down to seconds and the price remained at $50.  There were many watchers so maybe at the last second someone came in with a higher bid but photo removed before final price was posted.  Bet it was still a very good deal.  

Finally having my taxes done today.  Was waiting for a 1099 from my bank and after making calls the document finally arrived.

Happy hooking.

RUG SHOW

Have found a few new ones since my last rug show but not as plentiful a find as has been in the past.  But I'll take what I can get.  Although I must admit there are those antique rugs up for auction which don't float my boat so don't save them.

It's bunny season so Janice (Prims by the Water) should enjoy a couple of these rugs.  First up is this rug with two bunnies in a diamond, this is the front.  It measures 20 x 35.

A view of the back for the cleaner true colors.

And then there were 3 ~ Bunnies that is.  Said to be hooked early 20th century it is hooked with cotton and knits on burlap.  It measures 20 x 38.

This is a close up of the textiles used.

As I've daffodils blooming in my yard and the daylilies popping out of the ground, thought I'd show you a tulip rug which  measures 23 x 39.

For the true colors and repairs here is the back.  Notice how it was hooked all the way to the edge with the foundation turned and hooking thru more than one layer.

This whaling rug was found the same day as the other previously shown but wanted to post them different times.  Don't have a date but it measures 29 x 34.

Sorry to show this snowy landscape when so many of you are getting bombarded with that white stuff.  Wonder if I should post it in July or August so it would trick us into feeling cooler 😀?  Dimensions of this are 24 x 35.

I love the colors of this 64" round floral.  Almost reminds me of a dissected tree showing the age lines of growth.

Is the date on this horse rug 1911 or 1917 (center bottom)?  Whichever, it is nice, hmmmm, very nice.

Guess to please most everyone else I need a cat and a dog rug.  I'm not a cat aficionado but am guessing these are Maine Coon cats.  Size is 22 x 35.5 and said to be hooked 19th century.

A black dog hooked late 19th century measuring 28 x 46.  It sold for $1,185 in 2012.

There ya have another rug show and hope you enjoyed it.  Happy hooking.
