Rug Hooking - a few projects finished at last!

I've been jumping from project to project lately .... as a result, I ended up with several half-finished pieces, which "drives me crazy"!   So, with the weather turning chilly and gray, I spent a few cozy days at home, finishing things up!  What a good feeling!  Now I can get started on some new projects... A hooked rug is also among the newly finished projects and a pic will follow shortly.

Bits and Pieces

I vowed that nothing in my stash of yarns and wools will go to waste!  These little mug rugs (coasters) were made from the smallest leftover bits of wool used in other projects.  Rustic, and especially great for cottage or cabin, each piece is double layered, machine stitched, and finished off with complementary blanket stitch.

I've been taking advantage of some quiet time during the Christmas season to upcycle some more of the great wool blankets I've been collecting.  I especially love the rich charcoal gray and black in this particular piece of wool.

Hot Pads and Mug Rugs

When the weather outside is frightful ..... I'm happy to stay in and work away on my various projects.  I have some wonderful old wool blankets that I've collected recently - most of them very well worn and no longer suitable for use, other than to upcycle them into something new and useful.  These hot pads and mug rugs were made from the last viable portions of a great old charcoal/blue striped blanket.

Each piece is double layered, machine stitched, and finished with a blanket stitch.

Hot Pads and "Mug Rugs"
Available:
4 square hot pads (measure approx. 8" x 8"), $15 each
2 sets of four coasters (measure approx. 4" in diameter), $20 per set
