GEOMETRIC
Hooked Rug TREASURE
For
years I have had this simple geometric hanging in my old farm house .My
grandmother started it . . .on a
frame my grandfather built her.He was an architect and designed this geometric pattern for her
. . .he also carved by hand a hook for her to use and I have it to this day in
my little collection I carry around but never use . . .. .
I
seem to always go for the IRISH hook
made by Neville . . . .(called Hartman in the USA) but this bent hook is always
with me . . . .I never did finish the rug . . . .but instead got carried away with rug hooking and haven’t
stopped since!
One
of my students, Maria, did hook this pattern though . . . and her rug is now
for sale in her antique shop in Beloeil,Québec.Great job Maria!
Oh Judith! What a wonderful treasure you have inherited and such a noble and proud heritage! I love the faded old colors of an antique rug. They make me say "ahhhh"
