Pictured above is the darling wool penny rug from the Autumn Jubilee celebration going on over at:
From My Carolina Home. My rug was made of scrap wool pieces, as no stores here locally carry any wool felt. 'Did not have any mustard-colored wool, so a quick research suggested what colors to mix to achieve the color. Using some dyes that I already have, a mustard color was possible. The leaves are appliquéd, and the back is an olive-colored wool. Many thanks to Carole for this fun jubilee. Hey, the little thrift store candle and base looks awesome with this penny rug, doesn't it?

Danice, this is beautiful! Your wool colors are perfect. Excellent blanket stitch around the edge. I love that you sewed the buttons on with the same green thread. Nice photography also!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty, love the fall colors. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Danice! I love it. This is one craft that has been on my "must try" list. I have to confess that I detest the feel of wool, but I have wondered if craft felt could be used?
ReplyDeleteThank you all. JoAnn, craft felt is made of synthetic fibers. This would make it not a good choice for quality crafting. Heat such as from an iron, and that stuff will melt and stick all over everywhere. Synthetic fibers also tend to have a "plastic-ky" shine as well. Many sellers on Etsy sell quality 100% wool for crafting.
