A friend saw this rug pattern hooked beautifully by Jan Winter at Cambria Pines Rug Camp. When our Tuesday Group saw the photos, several of us decided to hook it too; each in our own way. It was a very fun hook, but I worked too many hours a day on it and ended up with aching fingers. I was afraid it might be my last rug. Ha!
This was a very fun hook! Each square was it's own reward and it came together quickly. I had to add a viney border; there was room.
I found that this rug was based on a national treasure, the Caswell Carpet, at the Metropolitan Museum. An embroidered Carpet, 1832-35 Made by Zeruah H. Guernsey Caswell (1805-ca. 1895) American; Made in Northeast, Castleton, Vermont, America. Wool, embroidered in chain-stitch; 156 x 147 in.
