RUGS WITH HEART

It's February first and Valentine's month.  Do you need or want a Valentine themed rug to display every February?  If so this post will have some antique rugs which may appeal to your heart. 

Here's a mix of hearts and primitive flowers.

Hearts and circles dated 1880-1900.

The date is already hooked into the mat below.

Floral with heart border, and a wonderful blotchy background.

Here's one you might like Sue, since it has tans and browns.

This next rug is one I hooked and is an antique adaptation.

Hand in Heart hooked 1920.

A nice geometric with hearts hooked between 1920-30.

Horses with 6 hearts late 19th century from Pennsylvania.

Antique Hearts hooked between 1880-1910.

Below is the adaptation I hooked.

This next one is an antique but I hooked the design and made it into a pillow.  

This rug below was in a previous blog post but deserves to be here too.

This rug was in the Country Living Book 'Seasons at Seven Gates'.

Black, gray and white horse and hearts.

Hearts and 8 point stars hooked 1911.

A more colorful hearts and 8 point star rug with hit and miss background.

Another rug with circles and hearts.

Or you could use hearts to make a geometric design of any size you like.

A home with hearts in corners said to be hooked between 1880-1890 found in Ephrata, PA.

Below is a pattern I drew for and hooked by Lisa.  I named it Hearty Heart.

March 6, 1931 must have been an important date to the hooker.

There are probably more heart hooked rugs among those which were salvaged by the computer tech.  But I didn't scroll thru those unnamed jumbled up photos.  Hope this post provided you with a little fiber for your heart health today.  Happy hooking.
