Let's Have some Chicken

Since my posting of the chicken pair on my frame, several readers have indicated having a recent interest in hooking chickens.  As I've numerous chicken rug photos still not shown, thought this would be the time to do a 'fowl review'.

I love this rug with farmyard animals hooked 1930.  It measures 39.5 x 66.5 and frankly just that left top section would be wonderful by itself.

No date on these chickens but dimensions were 21 x 40 being sold for $225.

This next one was dated 1930's (22 x 38).

Lots of feathers in this circa 1900 rug and love the background as much as the subjects. 

A rooster and goose with no other info provided.

Rooster rug with hit and miss background and no date provided.

This rooster rug below I captured from an antique show display.

The remaining chicken rugs are presently listed on an auction site and are located in Missoula, MT.  

A colorful rooster below but several loops missing. 

And what a terrible way to finish the back.  Learn from this so it doesn't happen to your beautiful work.

There ya have it, another rug show put to bed.

Yesterday afternoon thru the evening there were tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms rolling across the eastern shore.  Thankfully no tornado touched down near me but I did have limbs to pick up.  Others on the eastern shore had more damage.

My weeds are in need of cutting but it hasn't stopped raining long enough for the ground and grass to dry up enough.  Today sun is to be out all day so am hoping by the afternoon I can get some cut.  If not, I'll be working on my chicken rug.  Happy hooking.
