Here are some cottage style antiques from my Hourglass Antiques & Collectibles shops. This week I'm showcasing some vintage textiles ....

This wonderful hand-hooked rug with bold multi-colored flowers has a blue and white blocks strip with a brown border. Made with cotton fabric strips, it has a burlap backing. Size: 26¾ x 38 inches. 

Vintage Hand Hooked Floral Rug 

A vintage potholder pair from the 1930's. Crocheted in ecru and red in a flower shape, they each have a ring for hanging.














These two doilies are crocheted in a color-changing yarn in bright pastels.

This is a lovely quilt in a variation  

of the 'Nine Patch' pattern. 
  

Predominant

colors are

blues, greens,

& pink, all

on a white 

ground. On all 

four sides is a 

'saw tooth' edging. 

This quilt was 

machine pieced 

and hand quilted.
