The second 1790 Eagle is a colorful and fun rendition of this wonderful rug pattern hooked by Mary Shearman of Westfield, New York. I love the way she hooked around the stars with the darker teal in her background, great idea! The third 1790 Eagle was hooked by Charlotte Lindsay Allison of Fredericksburg, Texas. Charlotte's background is SUPER. The entire rug is very soft and mellow. She achieved this look by using the mathematical series, identified by Fibonacci. Ask her sometime - it is neat. She hooked the eagle using this method also. Very OLD and wonderful. Thanks Charlotte, kindred spirit! The fourth 1790 Eagle was hooked by Ellie Beck of Madison, Wisconsin. The border on this rug is absolutely wonderful. Ellie's soft colors and the way she moved them around the rug are super. Also love the eagle, and background. Very nice. Sharon Brown of Seven Field, Pennsylvania, hooked the fifth 1790 Eagle, 26 X 38. Sharon's eagle is fun as is her purple star. Her border is super neat. She just "pulled" strips and hooked them in. Absolutely did not "color plan" her border. Very, very FUN.
The second All Hearts was hooked by Lisa Baughman of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The teal background is neat and I love the way this pattern works with any background. You might try a hit 'n' miss background and quiet hearts. Jule Thornton hooked the rug on the right. Quiet and fun. Part of her neutral look with Jayne Hester.
The second Bandbox Squirrels, 21 X 32 was hooked by Julie Thornton of Shelby, Ohio. Julie's soft color palate is just super. Very calm with the play of the rust leaves on the backgrounds.
Jayne Hester of Kinderhook, New York, hooked the second Berry Tree as a gift to Barb. HOORAY! Her hit 'n' miss green background is wonderful. And I love the speckled star. Thanks, Jayne. Rose Hough hooked the third Berry Tree, 14 X 18. Just says "country Christmas with peace and joy. A neat rug and I absolutely love the "hit n miss" background
Sue McCann, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, hooked the second rug. What wonderful colors and super balance to this rug. Thanks to Sue, a very nice rug and friend. Janet Griffith from Texas hooked the third rug. Just a great rug with very unusual and playful colors. Janet hooked this at the Star of Texas Rug Camp. We had a great time with this rug. Note the different colored wools in the veins of the leaves. Makes them more interesting and fun. The fourth Birds and Pomegranates was hooked by Debra Inglis of San Augustine, Texas. The softness of the greens, blues and reds make this rug very restful and cozy. Nice!
Eileen Mahler, Boonton, New Jersey, did a great job of balancing her color with this Birds and Pomegranates, second from left. She hooked the birds to reflect the birds she sees in her yard. Very beautiful rug. I love the simplicity and the richness in the third rug above hooked by Louise Tietjen, Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. This is just a super pattern and is wonderful in any color palette. Thanks to everyone. The fourth Birds and Pomegranates above was hooked by Sherry Sayles of Elkhart, Indiana. Sherry's birds are big-time fun. I love the way they play off of the basket.
The second Bless This House was hooked by Jeannine Dougherty. Again, the dark background is super. The movement of Jeannine's trees give a lot of movement to the rug. Thanks Jeannine. If you see "Bless this Cape" design in our catalog note the words have been revised to read "BLESS THIS CAPE." It is no longer available with "HOUSE."
Eileen Mahler, Boonton, New Jersey, hooked the second Blue Basket Antique. Eileen says she had a wonderful time hooking this rug. Her basket is wonderful, and the bright gold flower in the upper right is super. Carol Collins, Goode, Virginia, hooked the third Blue Basket Antique. Her light basket sets the tone for a light and airy rug. VERY good. Diane Tutt hooked the fourth Blue Basket Antique. Absolutely fabulous. I love her background and her basket and the play of color in the border.
The second Blue Basket Antique was hooked by Bonnie Smith of Frostburg, Maryland. Just dark, rich and wonderful. Look at Bonnie's basket. One plaid was used. It is very neat. Blue Basket Antique, 36 X 54, the third one from the left, was hooked by Weslee Hursh. Weslee's rug won BEST IN SHOW at the Washington County Show. Very exciting! Note the wonderful plaid used to outline her leaves. Thanks Weslee. The fourth Blue Basket above was hooked by Pat Donoho of Upperco, Maryland. Just a wonderful rug. The lighter border wool is neat.
Charlotte Allison of Fredericksburg, Texas, hooked the second Blue Basket Antique, 36 X 54. A great color combination - the play of the golds keeps the rug "light and playful". Very wonderful.
The second Candle Mat hooked by Julie Thornton, Shelby, Ohio, has a wonderful contrast of the rusts and the blues. A great soft look. The third was hooked by Weslee Hursh, who chose a simple and neat two-color play. Just a nifty little mat. The fourth Candle Mat was hooked by Dianne Klamik of South Lyon, Michigan. A wonderful "patriotic" mat. Old and neat.
The second Deer Runner was hooked by Crystal Brown of Washington, Pennsylvania. Crystal's use of the reds in this rug is super. Very neat spark! Crystal is a fun lady. Bev Cole of Centerville, Ohio, hooked the third Deer Runner, 19 X 52. Just a neat simple primitive rug. Simple but fun and I love Bev's deer. Her tongue's on her rug and lots of fun too.
The rug in the middle is the smaller size and was hooked by Gloria Ault, Shelby, Ohio; she hooked this one for her table. Neat use of the reds - very old. Notice her red line between the background and border. Sort of "sparks" it up. Gloria also hooked the rug on the right. This is the 30 x 64 size and is just super on her bedroom floor. The background makes this rug. The wool has a neat stripe through it which makes the rug look "worn." Thanks Gloria so much. Leslie Wilks, Franklin, Pennsylvania, hooked the second Guilford Runner, 30 x 64. The simplicity of the design and Leslie's color story is wonderful. This rug is great in almost every color story. Kathy Wadlington, a fun Colorado lady, hooked the third rug above. Her color choices in this Guilford Runner are wonderful. Very striking and simple.
The second Guilford Runner (30 x 64) was hooked by Barb. This is a great three-color rug. Lots of different blues were used in the background. Gives a neat old look. The third Guilford Runner (14 x 31) was hooked by Leslie Gorbey of Quarryville, Pennsylvania. The color play of the reds and greens is perfect. I love the way Leslie reversed her wools and created a super mat.
The second Guilford Runner was hooked by Bonnie Smith of Frostburg, Maryland. Again the simplicity of this design works beautifully. Very elegant and primitive at the same time. The red motifs against the green background age this rug. Neat! Bev Stewart of Clayton, Indiana, hooked the third Guilford Runner 14 x 31. Soft and wonderful. Bev needed it a "tad" longer so we added the side borders. A very elegant rug. Hadley Series Chairpads: Coventry Greenfield York Windsor
All of these chair pads are 13 x 15 and are part of Edyth's Hadley Series. They are wonderful in any color combination and add country elegance to any area. My great friend Bobbie True hooked the top set of four chair pads. Note the similar colors in each chair pad. A neat look. The second row of chair pads was hooked by our daughter, Diane Lestina, College Station, Texas. Fabulous in any color story or background color. Cynthia Norwood, super friend, helped Diane with her color placement. Thanks to both of these special people. The Coventry chairpad at bottom left was hooked by Diane Denmead, my great friend from Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. I love her simple color palette - or as Diane would say, "MUTED"! The third set of chairpads was hooked by Rebecca Calderwood, Holidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Her color story is fun. There is just no wrong way to hook these delightful chair pads. All of her backgrounds are the same and then the play of color is similar in the set of four. Diane Klamik hooked York, in the bottom row. Her colors are soft and old. The play of the greens and reds makes this wonderful.
Gail Tuller, Novi, Michigan, hooked the Hadley Welcom in the middle. The shift of the reds and blues in her side flowers is wonderful. I also love the E in the word Welcom being in a different color. A simple rug with subtle changes in color. The third Hadley Welcom was hooked by our wonderful friend Edyth O'Neill. Be sure to order a copy of her super book "Rugs from my Red Cape." Edyth's placement and use of color is just the best. The fourth Hadley Welcom was hooked by Barbara Hill of Ligonier, Pennsylvania. A super fun lady! Her soft background is wonderful with the "lively flowers." Very neat!
The second House Blessing was hooked by Annette Allessio of Fairmont, West Virginia. Again, look at the hair. Just fun to hook, and her wings are neat too. The third House Blessing, 14 X 28, was hooked by Diane Denmead of Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. I love the way Diane "framed" the rug with the golden wings and hair. Absolutely NEAT.
The second Ipswich was hooked by Bobbie True of Arrow Rock, Missouri. Jule Marie Smith and I were fortunate to be able to help with the color play in this rug. We had a great time and Bobbie's rug is super. Love to Bobbie. The third Ipswich was hooked by Evelyn Lawrence of Hallstead, Pennsylvania. Her "pewter pot" is one of the best I have seen. Note the center flower and the wonderful play of color there. Thanks so much Evelyn. The fourth rug above is the original Ipswich hooked by Edyth O'Neill. Edyth's color palette is rich, old and wonderful. Her flair for color is a wonderful lession for all of us. Love to Edyth. The fifth Ipswich above was hooked by Crystal Brown of Washington, Pennsylvania. This rug is absolutely wonderful. Thank you to Crystal for allowing me to be part of this rug. Crystal's thought was, "why can't red be a neutral?" And so the thought pattern and the rug were born. Just GREAT. The sixth Ipswich was hooked by Penny Gessner of Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Hooked on a medium background. Very difficult to do. Her pot and flowers and strong and hold well with the background.
Lion, hooked by Joanne Henderson of Upperco, Maryland. Edyth's Lion is easily one of my favorite patterns. The lion was the king and Joanne translated that feeling so well with her colors and wools. Softly "crowned" with the wonderful leaves makes this a special rug. Crystal Brown of Washington, Pennsylvania, hooked the third Lion, 38 X 47. Crystal has a magical eye for color, and this is no exception. Her gold lion on the purple background is a treat. Love those leaves also. The fourth Lion was hooked by Nancy McCarthy of Derby, Vermont. This is also a great rug. Nancy's colors are big time fun. Her use of the mustard/gold for the lion and the purples and greens are super. Nancy hooked this for her great-grandson which she started in a class with Jon Ciemiwitz. Great face.
Marilyn Lowder, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, hooked the delightful Ohio Coverlet second from left. The way she balanced her blues is very good and the gold ground that the birds are on adds to the color story perfectly. Lori Rippey, Iron River, Michigan, hooked the rug third from the left. Again, a great balance of color and a super rug. Thanks, Lori. Sally Schill, Columbus, Ohio, hooked the Ohio Coverlet fourth from the left. Super color story and I love the difference in the birds, yet they are the same color story. Adds great interest to the rug. Thanks, Sally.
Another great Ohio Coverlet, second from left, was hooked by Beth Anne Smiley, Davenport, Iowa. I like the way she created "echoes" in the background. Lucille Festa, Pawlet, Vermont, hooked the third Ohio Coverlet above. I love the wings on the birds and the border. Lucille hooked this during her first Kinderhook Winter Camp experience. We all had a super time. The fourth Ohio Coverlet above was hooked by Becky Calderwood of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Her soft color play of the blues is wonderful. She added just a spark of red to "lift" the rug. Very nice.
The second Ohio Coverlet was hooked by Julie Thornton. A great two-color rug. Julie followed the coverlet color story in the same manner as Crystal did. Fun to study the old coverlets and translate the rug wools to them. Ohio Coverlet, third from left, was hooked by Charlotte Easley of Versailles, Kentucky. This was a wedding rug for Charlotte's daughter and new son-in-law. They took communion on the rug. Very neat! Plus Charlotte did a great job on this rug. I love her birds, background and flowers. Thanks so much, Charlotte.
The second Old Chalk Deer was hooked by Mary Ruelle, Fredericksburg, Texas. Mary works at Stonehill Spinning in Fredericksburg with Dorothy Panaceck. Great rug -- I love the simplicity of the way she hooked this, plus she, Dorothy and Edyth are super too! Sue McClure, Spring Hill, Tennessee, hooked the third Old Chalk Deer. The scrolls and the horns are just about my favorite because of the wools. The color story is rich and wonderful. The fourth Old Chalk Deer above was hooked by Kelly Wilson of Aurora, Illinois, at the Woolley Fox. Her scrolls are old and wonderful, a very soft way to frame the deer.
Carolyn Falcon of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, hooked the second Old Friends above. Carolyn used lots of her leftover wools to do this rug. A great little "scrap" rug. The third Old Friends was hooked by Dianne Klamik of South Lyon, Michigan. Her blue windows and the "speckle" wool between her background and border is super. Thanks Dianne.
Oliver Cromwell, 37 x 49, second from left, hooked by Diane Tutt. This was in the Star of Texas rug show. Just a super border and sky. Thanks to Edyth and Diane. The third Oliver Cromwell was hooked by John Walker, a dandy Kentucky gentleman. John requested a sunset sky and a big thanks to Emma Lou for helping me with this. John's rug is super and thanks to him also for doing such a great rug. I do love the sky.
Oliver Cromwell, 30 x 42, second from left was hooked by Kathy Applegate, Fort Worth, Texas. Kathy's water and border are just plain great. This is one of my favorites of Edyth's designs. The third Oliver Cromwell above was hooked by Crystal Brown, Washington, Pennsylvania. Crystal is a big fan of Edyth's. The "water shadow" under the ship and along the water line is neat. Her paisley waves are lots of fun. Beth Anne Smiley of Davenport, Iowa, hooked the fourth Oliver Cromwell, 30 x 42.
Karen Weber, Bethlem, Pennsylvania, hooked this delightful Peace on Earth, second from left. She hooked her platforms in the reds which gives a nice balance; I think her lion is nifty and I love her purple pot! Pat Lemmons, Riviera, Texas, hooked the third Peace on Earth. A great way to say hello to the Christmas season. Her colorful border is fun.
The second Peace on Earth was hooked by Mary Lynn Naples of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This rug just says "Christmas, peace and love" all around. I love the cheeriness of this rug.
The Primitive Star second from the left hooked by Julie Thornton, Shelby, Ohio. Her neutrals are super.
Cindy Trick, Beavercreek, Ohio, hooked the Quilter's Basket on the right. The simplicity of this little mat is neat. Without the dividing lines, the handles of the baskets draw you in to the center of the rug. Sort of like a hug!
Lisa Baughman of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, hooked the second Quilters Cabin, a fun small treasure to give to a great friend. Lisa's background is neat.
Penny Scroggins, Fredericksburg, Texas, hooked the second Three Bags Full. Her "curls" are awesome! Great border also. This is pictured in Edyth's book "Rugs From My Red Cape." Super book and super rug. Crystal Brown, Washington, Pennsylvania, hooked the third Three Bags Full. Her border is lots of fun. Crystal hooked the sheep as a "clean-headed" sheep which she and her husband raise. Fun rug. The fourth Three Bags Full was hooked by Mignonne Rogers of Denham Springs, Louisiana. Her background is neat, neat, neat. The way she incorporates her colors into the border is great. A honey of a rug. Thanks Mignonne. The fifth Three Bags Full is also a delight. Dorie Miller of New Paris, Pennsylvania hooked this one. Her background is just wonderful, but the red toes on the sheep are perfect!
Lisa Baughman, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, hooked the Tulip Wheel on the right. Very soft and pretty. A special small rug.
The Yellow Basket second from left was hooked by our daughter, Diane Lestina, College Station, Texas. Her background is neat with the "squiggles," which gives a nice movement to this small special piece. The third was hooked by Amy Charnitski. Her rug is delightful and quiet next to the other rug. This rug is great in any color story. Thanks, Amy. The fourth Yellow Basket, hooked by Cindy Trick, Beavercreek, Ohio, is a super fun and happy rug. I love the braiding Cindy did. Just adds more happiness to this neat little rug. AND - the basket is NOT yellow. The fifth Yellow Basket was hooked by Crystal Brown, Washington, Pennsylvania. The limited color palette is very striking. The border is big fun.
Crystal Brown, Washington, Pennsylvania, hooked the rug second from left. Her use of purple in the background is super neat. Again, I love this pattern. Kathy Applegate, Fort Worth, Texas, hooked the Woolley Fox on the right. Just a great color story and the richness of the fox is carried in the leaves in the border. The fourth Woolley Fox above was hooked by Dixie Coyle of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Dixie's fox is also wonderful, and notice that she carried the fox color into the grapes in the border. Either is wonderful. Thanks so much.
