#HR1 Centennial Rug Kit
This kit was inspired by a hooked rug made by an unknown artist around 1876. The original is found in the collection of the Museum of American Folk Art, in New York. I have tried to keep the proportions true to the original rug which measured 38" x 28". It is a perfect scale for a doll house or it can be framed. Finished needlework measures 4" x 2.5"
$25.00 + $1.00 s/h

#HR2 Two Horses Primitive Rug Kit
This kit was inspired by a late 19th century hooked rug made by an unknown artist. The original was hooked with early homespun fabrics. I have tried to keep the muted colors and proportions true to the original rug which measured 52" x 40". Many of the shades in the rug are created by utilizing the over-dyed threads included. It is a perfect scale for a dollhouse, or it can be framed. Finished Needlework measures 4" x 3.25".
$30.00 + $1.00 s/h

#HR3 Wenham Bed Rug Kit
This kit was inspired by one of the oldest remaining abed rugs. In the early days of colonial America, rugs were used on beds or table tops, not on the hard pack dirt floors of early homes. The original from which I drew my inspiration, can be found at the Wenham Museum and was made by Catherine Thorne in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1724. I have modified my design to be a square including the main motifs in the original bed rug.  Finished Needlework Size 4" x 4".
$30.00 + $1.00 s/h
