This hooked rug has to tug at your heart strings. The textile artist had a great sense of artistry and balance. The central log cabin home, with a welcoming red door and twin chimneys, is flanked by trees, each with a nearby bunny rabbit.

HEART BUBBLES
Whenever I look at this rug I think of bubbly hearts. I think "JB" the maker of this sweet textile, was experiencing the joy of "being in love" and was bubbling over with happiness.

Amish Quilt
This beautiful multi colored Amish made quilt came from a private collection in York, PA.

The result is breath taking. The back is finished with a muted calico print and it is ready for hanging with it's 2" rod pocket.
