Did some scavenging today with DH and came across an unfinished burlap rug with a very pretty design and I can't find anything on line about it.
It reads 32 X 57 inches "Blue Rose Hooked Rug" #2066 Made in Canada...
Anyone know anything about this company? Also how old the rug might be? I tried researching on line, but couldn't find anything. I will post a photo later. I've never seen one like this. It hasn't been "hooked" at all-just the outline of the pattern and it's in really good shape....
Any information about these types of rugs (burlap back-made in canada) would be greatly appreciated!

if its the type I am thinking of, "Rosy Greer" the football player made them famous, cause he would sit and punch/hook them while on an airplane, flying to the next game. Most were meant to be wall hangings, cause they were not washable...

You gals crack me up!
I dont know much about these things but I have to agree, that it does sound like punch art since its on burlap. I have a small punch art kit that I picked up at the thrift...been meaning to sit and try it out. Perhaps you just gave me the kick I need Melody!
Good luck in your quest, I hope you find your answer, and enjoy your new beauty!
Hugs,

Sounds like punch art, not hook. Punch art can be done on muslin or burlap. Try Joann's for the punch needle I have seen that they carry those there. |
