My new rug baby is born!
~*~
It was touch and go whether I'd be able to keep my promise and have her ready for Mom by the end of February. I finished in plenty of time, though- at 11:59 am February 28th.

It is so hard to capture her size and beauty in pictures. She is six feet long and two and a half feet wide. That's 72" long and 30" wide! For you European people, that's 182.88 cm long and 76.2 cm wide. (For the record, I *do* realize all the numbers are overkill, but hey, this baby is huge!)

And look what we have way down on her little end... my new sosorosey cotton twill sew-on rug tags. I LOVE them! I purchased them from Michelle at inkedpapers.etsy.com. Here's a LINK to the ones I bought.

So now you know when she was born, and how long she is. Who would like to venture a guess as to how many different fabrics were used in this rug? Or how much she weighs? I'll impart those stats in the comments tomorrow for anyone interested.

Gosh, what in the world will I work on tonight?

Jennie, she is beautiful :o)
I'm so pleased you were able to finish her for when you said :o)
Have you posted her already so your Mum can get her hands on her quick? :)
I think you used at least 30 different fabrics on her. And I'm guessing she weighs 5kilos.
have a happy day Jennie.
xxooxx
This is truly soooo rosy! Very beautiful!!! great job1
Thanks so much for all the comments, folks! I used a total of 13 fabrics for this rug- mostly cotton bed sheets. She weighs in at just over 12 and a half pounds. I thought it would be more. Sure feels like more when you have to turn it every few minutes :)
OOoo, i was nearly there on weight :o) But weigh (groan) out on the fabrics! ;o)
I forgot to say, I love your new fabric tags. They look really cool Jennie :)
xxooxx
13 bedsheet fabrics and 12 1/2 lbs of pure beauty, love, and art!! Thank You for your patience, diligence, skills, and artistic abilities! OXOXO
