It's finished!

Then it was time to do the binding. I over dyed 1 yard of wool. Cut my bias strips 3 inches wide and these 2 triangles are the left overs from 1 yard of wool. That's cutting it pretty close. (maybe a little to close for peace of mind). LOL


rug size 8x10

I am so glad you posted your link for your blog on FB I kept telling my husband about you steaming this giant rug. Then this morning to get to see it on your floor all bound. What a work of art. I love how it looks there on the wood floor. I love everything about this rug. Then I scrolled down and looked at all of your other project. You are such an artist.
I love the colors you chose.
So thank you and I am so glad I found your blog.

Hi, I have finished a 8×10 ft rug. The pattern is tosseled flowers by Sharon Smith. I was so thankful I goeamt it done before she passed away. Now I need to steam it and finish the edge. Does it tell on your blog what you did? I will send you a picture of it.

Hi Caryn, would love to see a picture.
How do you want to finish the edge on the rug? I use a wool fabric binding on mine. ( finished similar to a quilt binding)
Happy to help. Text 541-660-6401
