Description:
This is a lovely vintage hooked rug, or matt, made of wool on a burlap base. The inscription on the burlap reads “ May the simple joys of life be yours this Christmas – 1951- Pearl K McGown F25". It shows a very New England scene of snow covered landscape with a horse pulled sleigh approaching a red covered bridge. The dimensions of the burlap are 16.25 x 20 inches. The hooked area is 11 x 15.5 inches. It is in excellent unused condition. Finished, but never hemmed, which is nice because it gives us the history of the piece. The hooking is tight and even. From what I understand Pearl McGown was HUGE in the world of rug hooking, keeping the craft alive in the 20th century. She designed and printed patterns for sale, organized teachers and wrote books. I was told by a “hooker” that a person could subscribe and receive a pattern on a regular basis. These Christmas patterns were sent out as gifts to the subscribers. Combined shipping is always available at Bungalow BILL!
