CD REPUBLICATION

Originally published in 1933!

If you are the first to bid, using the buy-it-now option, you WIN! Don't Wait!

Offered here is a CD REPUBLICATION of a scarce original work on handmade rag rugs from the Depression Era and earlier! What could be more fun for those of use who love recreating vintage needlework than 15 Vintage Crocheted Rug Patterns from 1933? A great find for those who love the type of fancy needlework (crochet, knitting, looping and braiding) our grandmothers and greatgrandmothers loved to do for home decoration and comfort!

Now you can recreate these fine rugs with rug weight yarn, silk tie or cotton fabric strips, cording, bailing twine  or even plastic bread sacks cut into strips and used in lieu of fabric strips! (What can I say but I am a Dakota farm girl, and I had several aunts who did this!) Then you can display the charming finished products in your home or give as gifts to family and friends...

This would make a lovely and appreciated gift to your needleworking family, friends and co-workers!!!

If you're into nostalgia like I am you will have quite the pleasure in making rugs for yourself or others dear to your heart from these great old patterns! All pages are enlarged to the fullest extent possible for easy viewing (to regular 8.5x11 inch page size; as the original pages are quite small).

The ladies of earlier times put their hands to such marvelous work and now you can also! These are beautiful items and sure to delight you and yours! The instructions are based within the parimeters of the Depression Era grammerical and socialization culture. The instructions should be found to be clear and easy to follow. Also, the experience needleworker should be capable of altering the patterns as per individual needs and artistic whim.

You will appreciate the attention taken in providing a TOP QUALITY PRODUCT that you will use for many years to come...and can participate in reviving the sadly neglected art of crocheted rug making!
