like any worthwhile endeavour

Would love to get back into hooked rugs....one of these days
When you say "spend hours looking..." you are right on the mark! lol I have kept a file of saved images, and am thinking of using my Pinterest account to start holding all of them!
Those are some great rugs Kelley. Thank you for sharing. I have searched like that too and you are right, it takes a lot of time but oh the inspiration we gain. Hugs. Lori
Beautiful antique rugs. The folk horses and stars reminds me of a Magdalena rug. Thanks for showing them.
ohhhh love them all....
The internet is indeed amazing and one can lose themselves for many hours. I like to get ideas from the rugs, too, but then I save them in files and never put idea to linen. LOL Each rug is so wonderful...what history!
I love doing image searches for rugs and quilts, great way to get inspired.
