New and Old Penny Rugs

My Favourite Penny Rug

I have only stitched two triangle rugs, I need to do more!

I am always learning from my rugs and 

with this one I have discovered a secret to create the 

old and aged look I so love.

I dye my pennies 'after' they are cut.

They sometimes change shape

(antique rugs seldom have perfectly round pennies)

they also fray and I just stitch  keeping

the frayed edges.

I am getting so much better at doing 

imperfect stitching and

absolutely love doing those

tiny cotton bindings!

This rug is For Sale

A very unique antique rug.

The pennies are attached to the base

by a center stitch.

This rug is currently on auction at 

the site above.

Imagine the time that went into

this beauty

those very small blanket stitches!

I wonder if each penny was 

blanket stitches and

then layered or

the stacks were made and

then attached to the base...

No matter..it is a very

beautiful rug!!

Thank you Ladies for reading and your support.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!
