Close-up of a Grenfell Prayer Mat - an unusual design for a Grenfell.
A rather large Cheticamp Rug
I'm pretty sure this is the back...
I loved this inch mat from Skellerton NS. We were reminded about the importance of documentation and photographs....and how they really add to the collection when they accompany a rug. The other geometric rug hails from PEI
I loved the simple geometric design from Lunenberg County NS. It reminds me of a quilt with all of the arrows....
This flower basket rug is an Ontario rug from 1920-30...from the front
...and from the back.
I love the striped charcoal background and the simple orangey birds
The subtle striping in the wings and tails were created by the wool
Such a great hit and miss background on the Mennonite Bunny rug from 1884
How fun is this rug? I love the googly eyes and the simple background
In this picture you can see the random directional hooking on the horse's face
I loved the background in this rug - so many olivey greens. This rug likely dates from 1880-1890 and was hooked by Elizabeth Martin from Wallenstein ON
This is the back - you can see it hasn't faded too much....more with the flowers than the background....
This is the largest rug in the Museum's collection
Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the back....
