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.
