What I am doing during a quilt break..
2 Attachment(s)
I have been so busy with non quilting things - life, work, family - that I just haven't gotten around to quilting. I had to do something creative so - I decided to design and build a rug frame that would work for me. The actual building was done by my handy husband. The result - (hopefully will be shown in photos below) I am having a great time using up old sheets, pillowcases, clothes, ugly fabric scraps, etc. My FIL passed away this winter and we have spent a lot of time at his house getting ready for an estate sale and I have found a lot of 'materials' that work well in the rug (ok, well I have plenty of those types of 'materials' of my own, I can't lie). I don't have too much left before I can remove it from the frame and we will see if it will hold together LOL.

I'm very impressed with your weaving. Great use of color and misc. fabric. Love it!
|
Good job. There's nothing better than a hand made rug. I grew up with them.
|
That is going to be a beautiful rug! Very nice way to use up funky fabric.
|
This is a great idea...and what a lovely way to keep some old memories.

Are the vertical strips a special material or just strips of sheets or misc. fabrics?
It's neat to be able to see how they're woven. Very nice and totally washable, too. Wow |

Wow this is really pretty - I would love to learn this - note to bucklet list "make room for one more". Thanks for sharing, hope your sale goes well and my condolences on your FIL.

Those rugs are so pretty and they look like they would be fun to make. I love to reuse, recycle, and remake!
|
Oh, I am jealous! Wonderful job!
