RUG SHOW

 A soiled but sweet primitive cat, 38 x 38.

This brown horse rug doesn't have a date either but you can see by the way it is worn it has some age.  Dimensions are 25 x 41.

A geometric with central star and scallops.  Some may refer to those shapes a tongues, shell or maybe even swag shapes.

An oval in rectangle given a date of 1930.

This floral below is dated between 1860-1870 and measures 32 x 53.

Sadly there's no information to share about this double baskets of flowers rug.

Black horse (19.5 x 25.5) hooked early 20th century.

This rug with blocks of animals was hooked early 20th century and I like it.  Size is 36 x 40.5.

More cats cats said to be hooked between 1870-1890.  You've probably seen it before somewhere.  Dimensions are 33.5 x 53.5.

I'm not so crazy about this next rug but it was hooked late 19th century with cotton and rags.  Puts a different spin on hit and miss and using up left over textiles tho.

And the final rug photo which I wish had been taken straight on vs. at an angle.   I like this deer and house rug which was dated between 1880-1910.  If it was a straighter photo I might be interested in hooking it but this would be a nightmare to draw out because of the angle.

Back to pulling loops on my own deer rug now y'all.  Happy hooking.

Let's Have a Rug Show!

Thought I'd start off with something for Kelley.  A cat rug with stars and scallop border.  Said to be from late 19th century hooked using wool and cotton.  At a later date I learned this is not an antique but a design by Kathy Morton.

Not wanting to show favoritism, here is a dog hooked in the 19th century.  Measuring 28 x 39 it comes from Sturbridge MA.

Colonial houses with well in foreground.

Colorful birds from Ephrata, PA measures 27 x 44 and said to have been hooked between 1850 - 1900.

A hooked dog rug with a faux 'hooked' braided inside border.  Thout that was very interesting and very well done.  Tap on the photo to get a better view.

Berries in corners and center with hit and miss background 19th century.

Of course I have to show some horses after showing a cat, dogs, birds, etc.  Late 19th century 23 x 40 from Pennsylvania.

Found this on Pinterest and can't believe it is in such wonderful shape.  Must have been museum stored for centuries.  It is a 12th century Girona tapestry  depicting the month of April.  Would make a nice hooked rug and conversation piece.

All that is missing is a truly primitive and naive hooked pot of flowers with small houses.  

Good evening to you all.
