Ready to Rug

When setting out to make a custom rag rug for someone, the first step is gathering fabrics in the desired color family. Once the fabrics are all washed and approved, the next step is trimming them of all hems and selvage and dividing the pieces into sections. The number of sections is based loosely on the size of the rug and the overall "look" one is going for. After that, the different fabrics in each section need to be put in order of appearance. Only when all of these things are accomplished am I ready to cut the fabric into strips and actually crochet the piece. That's where I am now with the 15 fabrics pictured here- ready to rug! Let the fun begin!

Makeover Monday Revisited

I combined the striped rainbow fabric from Monday with some complimentary white/rainbow mix to produce this totally unique bowl for a new customer in Canada.

~*~ I'm calling it the "reversi-bowl" because it can be turned inside out for a different look!

A third option, and my favorite, can be created just by folding the sides down.

Can you guess what she will be using this bowl for??? Leave your answer in the comments- I promise to come back and tell you later today!
