Oriental Rugs 2
Oriental rugs speak of ancient cultures and intricate handiwork. Their distinctive patterns and rich colours add a timeless element to any setting. Rug designs are usually rectilinear (geometric) or curvilinear (floral) and are sometimes a combination of both. They frequently have a medallion design in the centre.

I adapted this rug from Pinterest. Origin unknown. I have made a collection of table runners which I change frequently over the seasons. My cat Sadie really likes this rug.

Hooked with cut #2 of new wool on burlap
38 in x 21 in

I bought this pattern “wool included” at a guild auction for about $20 ten years ago. The centre had been hooked. It took the COVID lockdown for me to finally finish it. The pattern was bigger! I stopped when I ran out of wool.

Hooked with cut #2, #4 of new wool on burlap
39 in x 25 in

This rug was a donation to our guild. It was about 2/3 done with enough wool to finish it. It went in an auction; I bid for it and got it!! I was very happy to finish it and make it my own. A real “Keeper”.
