| Commentaires : | Came from the home of Fred (1882-1943) and Flossie (!888-1953) Lutes, parents of Muriel Lutes Sikorski. Fred and Flossie Lutes lived in Lutes Mountain, the present site of Magnetic Hill Bed and Breakfast, Moncton, New Brunswick. Women have been hooking rugs or mats since the early 19th century. Frugal housewives would cut pieces of old wool clothing or wool blankets into narrow strips for hooking. They would use empty burlap feed bags for the foundation or backing. They would use a whale bone or a special metal hook with a wooden handle to pull the strips of fabric through the backing |
