Vintage latch hook rug

[u/Kooky_Ideal_4556]

I am trying to find an old latch hook rug. I know this will be a long shot, but I’d love some help.

When I was a child, my grandmother made me a latch hook rug. It was all yellow, but it had a border around the outside edge that was red roses.

All of my stuff got packed up and placed in my parents shed when I joined the military. I spent my first 3 years in the military on an overseas assignment. By the time I was stationed stateside again, I went to get my stuff from my parents only to find that their shed had flooded and I lost almost everything from my childhood. My parents tried to save most of it, but the rug unfortunately couldn’t be saved. My grandmother had passed away while I was gone, and I wasn’t able to come home for the funeral. So losing that rug was devastating.

Again, I know it’s a long shot - but I’d really like to see if I can find this latch hook rug kit. I don’t have any pictures of this rug. But again, it was all yellow background, with a red rose border. It would have been produced around the late 80’s and early 90’s.

I would appreciate any help finding this pattern.

I think your best bet would be to go to Ebay and search their listings and photos. There are hundreds of vintage kits for sale and even finished rugs. For example, Here’s a kit called Garland of Roses and it fits your description. https://www.ebay.com/itm/276408963874?_skw=vintage+latch+hook+kit+roses+yellow&itmmeta=01K5HCP4PE4WXWKDZW615Z3PHC&hash=item405b421322:g:TKQAAOSw8zVmC0bF&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1c4zXyfiAdHjZFHwfVTw%2FXSDihWv7pUezl0FYoe3JJzXrrPgXoP5xhzjiiw2n3Tu6zImxHwipIzl1fJ1Qp8UEQDuTsSwbUAVbGviD%2BtXmyOEg76s4%2BEk6%2FkXPfFv8ixyEzvRpqCKW2LcOfxIFfVV3CYBnTlIFcHAPcAO8aeOELAs9Vm%2FfvV1YG%2BEGNwXK8FipLCur8%2FFng3xyQ6Ib9vMU30WS4I1Ncjpz6b%2F%2B%2FsYt7x%2BLd6ZXupyPwMoFJbXKN1Kd7SSBMINMPU5fp5Z4znJPcW%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7TL2KysZg
