i have penny rugs all over the place and have been working on a wool crazy quilt (with embroidered and embellished blocks) i have a couple dozen blocks made but no-where near enough.
ahhhh the joy of WOOL! i just love it!
my black ('BACKYARD GATHERING') wool appliqued quilt even appraised at $3700!!!
and it was such a pleasure to work on!...poor thing-now it lives in a pillowcase on a closet shelf :roll: (it is black...we own a white cat) one of these days i should get it out and sell it.
Would love to see the Backyard, post a photo.
Know what you mean about cats, I have 3 and made a black fireplace rug and of course they have to lay on it. I'm forever brushing the hair off. The sacrifices were make for our pets!
