Have a Heart

 Through the years hearts have been a favorite to use as a pattern. I have hooked many a heart. I do not label my rugs. I should, but I don't. So I'll do my best to remember. 

This is an antique adaptation of a rug I saw on Saundra of Woodland Junction's site. It turned out fine, but a bit too bright for my liking. This hangs on the wall of the grands bedroom.


This one I love. It is usually on the floor in front of the fireplace/wood stove. I love the muted colors. It is a pattern from The Woolley Fox called Tennessee Hearts. I think I bought this from Barbara Carroll when she still had her retreats at her home.


This is just a tiny piece, maybe 4" x 12". I think it was in Rug Hooking Magazine, years ago. It only comes out seasonally to celebrate Valentine's Day.


This is my favorite rug of all. ❤️❤️❤️
I believe I saw this on Saundra's blog also. It's an antique reproduction of a basket of geraniums. There are hearts in the borders. Again, very muted colors. I really enjoy a hit and miss. This rug resides on the floor beside my bed. It has gotten lots of use. 


I think this is a Maggie Bonanomi pattern, called Settler's Pride. It was a paper pattern I purchased from a cute little shop in Amish county. 


I hope your day is wonderful.

  3. WOW! Love the changes you did to the first rug adding a mouse, two cats and bunny. The antique floral is also AWESOME! I have the Settler's Pride pattern and have never hooked it yet. Also like the other hooked heart rugs you did. Good post!

  4. I really like the Maggie Bonanomi pattern rug. You did a great job on it.
    I love the colors. Very soothing and easy on the eyes. I'm not one for bright colors although they are needed some time.

    Take care .
