Wool "mug rugs"

What is it with me and circles!???  They certainly make their way into many of my projects.   These "mug rugs" (coasters) were made with a double layer of boiled wool, then embellished with a random machine stitch.  Several of the pieces incorporate hand-dyed wool to give a more interesting texture.

Rug Hooked Chair Pad

After a few weeks' hiatus for the Christmas season, I'm so glad to be back together with the Wednesday group of rug hookers based in Lakefield.  It's such an interesting and eclectic group of women (and one man!) and while we all lead such different lives, we share a very special bond that's grown strong over the years.  This is a piece that I finished yesterday over coffee, muffins and great conversation.

I love the rich dramatic tones of grays and blacks against the textured black and red background of the chair pad.  Hooked in the primitive tradition, I used recycled wool strips on a burlap backing.
