Story about the rug

This floral design is referred to as a “fine shaded floral” design. This table mat is hooked with new wool strips cut in a #4 on burlap backing. The edges are whip stitched and there is fabric attached to the back of the hooked piece.
Beulah Dorey hooked rugs and enjoyed other handcrafts including quilting, sewing and knitting. She was self taught and also attended workshops in the local community where she lived (Weston, NS). Beulah Dorey: 1939 – 2023
