My Magic Hands: Rugmaking - in years gone by

Humble beginnings

I've always been into crafts and done knitting (still proudly remember my first scarf with the lovely giant hole in the middle - I did that!) rug-making, sewing, making woollen pom-poms, painting stones, picture framing, willow sculptures etc.

We've now got a fantastic shop (Sweet Ginger Emporium) down the road that does courses, and I've learnt some quilting with them. I thought now was a good time to keep a record of what I'm doing, what I've done and I'll be able to see improvements and keep an eye on the new stuff I learn as well!

Considering all that, I'm not in the least bit artisitic!

Rugmaking - in years gone by

I used to do rugmaking quite a lot, unfortunately I haven't got any left and only two photos of ones I did. The swirly one used two lengths of wool, on a preset pattern. The rugby player was made from leftover wool and I designed the whole thing myself.
