Quilted, Reversible Rug

Last week I showed the start of my quilted reversible rug that is going to replace my old rag rug. It has been in place since Sunday and I love it. Here are both sides of it.



It was quilted with a variegated thread in close horizontal lines, very boring to do but I like the look.

It replaces this rug that has the edge that is in very bad shape up against the wall so it can't be seen.

I've done a few more botanical/eco prints and that's what I'll be using for the next few weeks.




2018 Daily Stitching #2, days 8-14






Today I'll be driving into the Boise area for our regions first SAQA meeting, yeah! Gail Hansen is hosting it at her house, and hopefully we can set up some sort of regular schedule for meetings. We live a bit of a distance apart and there aren't many of us, so this can sometimes be a challenge, but I'm looking forward to it.

Another daily stitching started

Blogger has made some changes that have to do with the European Privacy issue and of course I have no idea what to do. I've always gotten an email when someone leaves a comment on the blog, I'm no longer getting them. I have to check the blog for comments and then answer on the blog which I find cumbersome, but I guess I'll just have to deal with it and stop complaining.

I did start a new daily stitching, number four in my series of 10 inch squares. This is how it looked before any stitching.


This is the back, with a 10 inch square of felt fused to it. I use felt to give it body so I don't have to use a hoop.

Here it is after the first 7 days.

I'm also making a small rug to go under the kitchen eating area table. The rug that is currently under the table is a rag rug and it's been there several years and is coming apart. I've shopped around a bit and haven't found anything that I really like that is the size I need. So I'm making a quilt to go under the table, my hubby thinks it's a strange idea but every rug we have is fiber of some sort. I'm also making it reversible .

So this is one side, a very simple design in browns.

This is the other side made with the leftovers. It's not completely pieced yet so the picture shows it laying on my cutting table.

I plan on doing very close horizontal lines of quilting. When it's done  I'll get a picture of it in use.
