Happy Monday! It's a fresh new work week, and I have a fresh new project keeping me busy. A request for a 2.5 foot by 6 foot rag rug in sage, celery and rose gave me the chance to gather up this bundle of oh so shabby chic fabrics.
~*~
As I was shopping for fabrics and noticing how absolutely beautiful they looked together, it occurred to me to ask my customer if she'd like to take a chance and let me try something new. Since the customer is my mom, she decided to trust my instincts and allow me to make her rag rug from the same midcentury pattern that I used for this cotton yarn rug.

Here she is so far, one fourth finished at 30" wide and 18" long.

And a closeup of the texture. I have been searching for a way to give my rugs an extra special touch, and I think maybe I've found it. I really like the softness of the weave and the way the colors blend without a distinct striped effect. Fingers crossed that Mom loves it, too :)
