RUG PATTERNS THIS WEEK

This week I drew two patterns, one for Lisa and one for my rug camp in November with Caroline Twigg.  Below is the horse/geometric which Lisa ordered.  The antique rug was said to be hooked between 1890-1900.  Lisa should receive her pattern tomorrow.  I asked if she'd send me a photo once it is  hooked, she plans to hook it close to the colors in the original.

The rug below is what I finally decided to hook with Caroline (Eagles Nest Woolens).  This design was top of the list to hook at one time but for some reason another rug kept knocking it out of top slot.  Will be nice to finally get'r on the frame.  

Now back to the rug on the frame as it is getting closer to being finished.  Happy hooking.

Close But Not Exact

I've loved this antique rug for a few years and fell in love even more when watching a friend hook her version in a class with Kris Miller.  The original rug measures 23 x 41.

This morning while perusing various sites for old rugs stumbled upon this Sheep said to be hooked 19th century and from the estate of Penny Marshall ~ yes, THAT Penny Marshall.  The rug measures 23.5 x 36.

So I'm wondering if one is a derivative or adaptation of the other.  If you are wondering who that friend was, it was Tanya Wishard and what a beauty she created.

The antique rug is back on my 'to do' list but am still working on New Years Eve, Over the Moon is on the side lines awaiting the last loops and Woolly Santa still needs to have the binding completed.  So by the time I'm ready to put a newer rug on my frame my interest might be elsewhere.

Happy hooking and stay well.
