Afghanistan | 58" x 81" | monkcloth - $148.00

This rug, nearly 5' x 7',  would be the focal point  in a room.

Anatolian | 27" x 48" | monkscloth - $48.00 | linen - $67.00

Orientals will fit in with virtually any decor, and this is an easy one to hook, once it's planned out.  I can see this in a red background, or a navy as well.

Anatolian Runner | 39" x 76" | monkscloth - $94.00 | linen - $126.00

Ann Tuttle hooked this gorgeous runner and brought it to class to pick out fringe.  I couldn't resist taking a photo of it even though it isn't totally done...she had a lot of leftovers "reds" and we used those along with Creamed Corn, Potato Skins, Dusty Old Blue, and Faded Jeans.  We will post a photo of it with fringe soon...Spectacular!
 

Antique Kuba | 40" x 72" | monkscloth - $109.00 | linen - $149.00

A caucasian design, but with some Persian influence,  adapted from a longer  original.  I would enjoy working on this oriental as it has a lot of interesting sections.

Here is a beautiful version of this wonderful oriental. The one on the right was very nicely done by Emily Young.

Arabic Patchwork | 31" x 51" | monkscloth - $56.00 | linen - $77.00

Quite intriguing to work on...the different motifs will hold your interest.  The bottom Arabic Patchwork was done by Laura Salvati.  She wanted the look of Italian marble, so I dyed accordingly.

Cabistan | 44" x 61" | monkscloth - $80.00 | linen - $110.00

I took this photo of Anne Ashworth's cabistan in the early 80's, at the very first camp i attended. I so admired her version, and never dreamed I would own the business that had it. On the right is Agnes Chidester's lovely Cabistan.

Chimera | 38" x 49½" | monkscloth - $60.00 | linen - $84.00

Chimera is an unusual rug design and people report they enjoyed working with the different colours and motif shapes.  No matter what colours you use, it always seems to be fabulous when done.

Beautifully done by student Marilyn Frost, who said she didn't need to do any rugs, only small pieces.

Chinese Musicians | 18" | monkscloth - $19.00 | linen - $25.00

This delicate design is meant for those hookers who call a 4 cut "wide"...definitely a highly detailed piece.  It is exquisitely Oriental when done!

The one on the left is Jasmine's "Chinese Musicians", done when she was in her first year of college, with very capable instruction from Nancy Elliott.

Daghestan Prayer | 40" x 62" | monkscloth - $98.00 | linen - $138.00

I so enjoyed working on this oriental.  It would have been easy to make the center diamonds repeat, but I chose to make each one unique .  There were nearly 20 different "reds" in this rug!

Ghiodes | 36" x 54" | monkscloth - $69.00 | linen - $96.00

The top-left duck was hooked by Ann Tuttle; believe it or not we used up a lot of leftover wool. The attractive Mandarin Duck on the bottom-left was hooked by Ann Haley.

For the advanced hooker not afraid of a #3 cut.  This lovely design is very intricate and a joy to hook with traditional oriental colours.  Mine utilized Old Red, Oriental Blue, and Creamed Corn.  Also I used #7 Oriental, and #132 Seagreen, both 6 value swatches.  And quite a few miscellaneous spots!

Cosette Allen hooked the lovely Mini Sarouk at the top.

Navajo Borders | 26" x 36" | monkscloth - $41.00 | linen - $56.00

This is a fun rug to do in earthy Indian colours...the multiple borders add interest, and...no background!

Paisley Garden | 24" x 36" | monkscloth - $41.00 | linen | $56.00

Definitely the most requested oriental pattern. Here are 2 very different versions. My daughter, Jasmine, hooked the one on the left when she was 15, in class with Barbara Miller. She was so excited when it was accepted in Celebrations.

Persian Footstool | 11" x 14" | monkscloth - $11.50 | linen - $16.00

This neat miniature oriental can be also made into a small mat or tote bag.  My daughter, Jasmine, hooked the red and white one when she was in high school.  I do this pattern for workshops or mini classes, so I hooked mine – the one on the left – in 2 different colourways to give a choice of kits!  It's not very big, so you need a 3 or 4 cut. Like most orientals.

Persian Tree of Life | 31½" x 39" | monkscloth - $41.00 | linen - $56.00

Four attractive and different "trees." Always a pleasure to colour plan and I liked the border too!

Petite Persian | 28" x 36" | monkscloth - $48.00 | linen - $67.00

This is a charming, do-able size oriental.  I can't tell you how many students I've had that did it, sometimes twice.   We've done it with blue backgrounds, and even gold.  It's easily colour planned because of the repeats.

Prayer Carpetbag | 15" x 28" | monkscloth - $27.00 | linen - $37.00

This is one of many carpet bags.  Each can be finished as a bag, or as a small rug or wallhanging.   Finishing directions for the bag are available, if you'd like them with your pattern let me know.

I made the bag of this in 1995 and enjoy using it.

Samarkand Prayer | 22" x 46" | monkscloth - $41.00 | linen - $56.00

This is a wonderful oriental pattern that can be a runner, or hang on the wall.  My dad hooked this particular one back in the 1980's (it's the one in the middle).  He preferred to do shaded rugs, but could no longer work them due to very poor vision. The version on the left is by Mary Lynch.

Sarouk | 47½" x 75" | monkscloth - $109.00 | linen - $149.00

Mary Cowan sent me this photo of her exquisite Sarouk that she did with Sibyl Osicka. Wonderful rich colours!   Who says you can't have eggplant in an Oriental?

Woodland Leaves | 24" x 42" | monkscloth - $41.00 | linen - $56.00

This came to me as an American Indian design when I bought the New Earth business; but why not consider using fall colours for a different look?
