MY ANTIQUE GEOMETRIC Hooked Rug TREASURE



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!
