Our Old Tyme Sheep Rug
takes you back to days when common folk made their own furnishings from
whatever they could find. In this case, Mother, or even young girls may
have taken an old burlap feed sack down to the creek for a good washing
before drawing a simple design inspired by beautiful scenes right on
their land. With woolen strips from old clothing and a simple crochet
hook, she’d go to work.
She would think about her hand work throughout the long tiring day, looking forward to adding a
playful touch here and there, or finishing the face of the sheep, or
adding another stem to yesterday’s flower. Then, after evening chores
she’d do a new line or two, as the family sat around sharing the day’s
events, and planning for tomorrow.
Too soon, it seemed, her hand worked rug
was finished. Only sewing back the burlap edges was left. Two more
evenings, perhaps.
Then it would belong to
everyone. |
