Homemade...

IMG_1194-1

 

Encouraged by a neighbor I joined her in taking rug hooking classes.  This is the first rug I made using strips of old wool and new.  The design is an old pattern which I changed in only small ways by making the chicken a RI Red and the flag the state flag of RI.   It is a fun way to recycle old woolen clothes...some of these strips used to be old mini-skirts...

  4. My mother's mother used to hook rugs. I remember seeing her tear wool into long strips to use. I had a small rug of hers, but the moths eventually got it. I think that it's cool that you learned how to make rugs. I also love that you personalized it.
