Handmade Rugs

Compiled for the Woman's Home Companion

Woman's Home Companion, 250 Park Avenu, New York City.

Small stapled booklet, 24 pages not including covers. Handmade Rugs, Crocheted, knitted, braided, hooked and embroidered. As the introduction says, making modern reproductions whch, while quite as lovely as the old rugs, have been simplified in design and workmanship to fit the needs of the needlewoman of today. There's a Halloween witch rug pattern and one that clearly is from before WW2 which would not be suitable to make and display in modern times. For the footstool covers smaller Berlin woolwork floral patterns can be used instead of the patterns offered for sale here, which will no longer be available.
