Crestview Cottage 20"  x 24" Hooked by Peggy Skulski.   Peggy did a great job choosing colors for her rug.  She used 5 different blues for her sky and a blue and white plaid for the moon.  See how the starlight is reflected in the tree outline.  A wonderful primitive effect. 

 

 

 

 



Primitive Star 12" x 12"  Hooked by Ruth Dustrud.   Ruth selected fabulous textures for the border and center background. The golds are great and make this rug look truly primitive.  It's quick and easy and would make a great pillow or table mat for the 4th of July or any day of the year!

 

 

 

 

Up North Cabin 16" x 16"  Hooked by Jan Kenneth.  Jan made this rug into a wall hanging for a friend who has a cabin "up north"!  Her border plaid was used to pull colors for the rest of the rug.  Great job!

 

 



 

Pongo Hooked by Betty Rafferty.   Betty used my "Burnie" black lab designs to hook Pongo.  She did a great job.  Look at that link collar!  The colors...wow!

 

 

 


Tulip Floral 14" x 14"  Hooked by Betty Rafferty. 
 What a lovely Spring Bouquet!  Aren't  the colors just scrumptious!

 

 


 


Floral Motif 16" x 16" Hooked by Joyce Boje. 
Joyce used a beading technique for an inside beauty line and the outside border line.  I love how this rug turned out.  Her colors are so warm and inviting.

 

 

 


Good Old Days   28" x 36"   Hooked by Jackie Albrecht. 
The colorful whimsical flowers just seem to dance around this rug!  The contrast between the dark border and the light background is great. 

 

 

 

Good Old Days 28" x 36".  Hooked by Kay Despard. 
What a fun rug full of imaginary flowers.  The colors in Kay's rug are just wonderful!!

I love the colors in this rug.  And those sheep are adorable!

Wouldn't you just love to visit this cottage?  Notice her cobblestone path!
 

 


 

 

Floral Kaleidoscope 20" x 32".  Hooked by Joyce Weese. 
Wonderful bright colors.  I love how Joyce hooked the background, a great contrast to the floral foreground.
 

 


 

Sheep In the Meadow 22" x 26".   Hooked by Nancy Parlier. 
Nancy's colors are just perfect.  She's hooked an idyllic scene with our favorite...sheep!

 

 

 

 

 


Primitive Rugs Make Great Gifts!  I have designed a number of patterns that I like to call "Love" patterns!   They will make wonderful wedding rugs or gifts for new babies or for almost any special occasion where you want to make a special rug for a person you love!


"Love Runner".  At 12" x 36" and simplicity of design, this rug can be hooked up quickly and make a wonderful statement about LOVE!  The heart is the central element in this designs whether in the central motif or the leaves or the flowers.  Have fun with this one! 
$40.00 on Monks;  $56.00 Linen

 

 

Dates and/or initials or names can be added to the pattern to personalize it for your special occasion!  Call or email me to order your pattern on monks or linen.

 


Hearts Abound,  24" x 32".  It would make a wonderful wedding gift.  I envision the hearts in the corner and border as being understated with just a hint of an outline.  Of course, all dates, initials or words can be custom added to suit your occasion. 
$50.00 Monks Cloth, $70.00 Linen

 

 

 

 


"Daisy and Hearts" surround a heart with the year of marriage or other special occasion.  The size of this rug is 25" x 35".  Choose colors to compliment the bride and groom's color choices or hook it up in antique primitive colors.  A baby girl would have a treasure indeed if this design were hooked in soft pastels. 
$55.00 Monks Cloth; $77.00 Linen


"A Day to Remember"  14" x 30".  This would be a great size to give as a gift.  It will hook up quickly.  Choose a date or initials to put in the center heart.  Make it look like an antique primitive or lighten it up with the popular bright colors of the day.   It could be hung on a wall or fit nicely on a bench or hearth.
$45.00 Monks;  $63.00 Linen

 

 

"Love Penny Rug" 18" x 26".  Penny Rugs are so much fun to hook.  Take a look at my Penny Rug Welcome to see an example of how to get a primitive look.  This design is even popular with more those who favor more of a modern look.  The words in the middle could be changed to a date or name. 
$35.00 on Monks, $48.00 on Linen
