Magdalina Briner, hooked rug c. 1885

Magdalina Briner has become a real celebrity in the rug hooking world.Quite a few of her rugs have been found and collected and now patterns are being made from them and sold by a prominent rug hooking supplier.
As a rug hooker, I am pleased to find there is a distant connection between my family and the Briner family. (A Spankneble/Sponable married a Briner and Maria Gardner Sponable was my great great grandmother.)
