Featured Exhibit ~ Barbara Carroll


Sauder Village ~ 2012
(No words necessary)






Boyertown Pups, which I LOVE, is a HUGE rug.  Perhaps 4' x 4' ?














Barbara's antique inspirations ~ from her collection.







What a treat to see Barb's rugs up close and personal!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I have LOTS more of Sauder to share.


Pugs hugs to you this fine Sunday morn.  Annie and I are off to work the Ohio Pug Rescue booth at a greyhound event about an hour from home:)

Have a nice day. What lovely rugs. I think it would be so much fun to go see something like that in person.
This week I got brave and I posted pictures of some the rugs I hooked this year on Face Book.
No one that is friends with me from California even knew why I would want to hook rugs? Not to mention I got a snarky comment about not liking crows. :)
I am living in the wrong state. :)
Have a fun day.

PS: Do you know of the 1890 horse (the one with a cat and chicken) is copyrighted? I know it is an antique, but don't know whether Barb owns the original.

I've always loved Barb's designs - so this was a real treat for me. Thanks so much for sharing! Wow....she has an amazing collection of antique rugs. Good thing I wasn't there....I probably would have drooled all over them. :o) Robin
