Some Eye Candy for Rug Hookers

This first pretty floral with a geometric border isn't really an antique since it was hooked around 1940.  But is vintage and worth seeing; measures 24 x 36.  Still has nice crisp colors..

The Deer rug below is from the June and Sandy Worrell estate and measures 22 x 56.

Below is a closer look of the left side and right side.

Have you ever noticed that old hooked rugs of animals always seemed to show them with their tongue sticking out?  Wonder why?  If they wanted to define the mouth they could have just used a very thin piece of fabric.  Yeah, I know....they used what they had 😉.

A Floral Fraktur from Pennsylvania dated 1851 and measuring 17 x 33.

Beavers doing what they do best, measures 27 x 42.

Crossed Flags with oak leaf border.  Measures 36 x 41.

Rug with a date February 1906.  I'm wondering if this was a wedding rug with the 'knot' or perhaps fish (Christian symbol) depicted center top and bottom.  Rug measures 23 x 51.

And then the rug I've recently fallen in love with.  Don't plan to hook it yet as my project for April rug camp has already been established.  And since my  mood swings from hot to cold so quickly who knows how long it will be before it is on my frame.

Happy weekend to all of you.
