I'm new to "penny rugging" and have a couple of patterns and have begun cutting out circles. I am hooked onpenny rugs. I usually do decorat8ive painting but have been fasinated with penny rugs, I'n now into it totally. I'm into the thrift shops, waiting for theie next half off specials. Taking clothing apart is a mess but you surly can get some beaufiful fabrics. I am trrying to find a source for wool that come in plaids, checks, etc. that I can purchase and felt. this seems to be limited in my area. Thanks for your site and info.

We were given a kit to make a coaster with hearts. As I didn't center these hearts right I filled in the spaces with a stem and leaves making the hearts look like a flower. I was happy with the results and hope I can make more for gifts. We were given some patterns and I'm anxious to get started. I don't use wool but am happy I can use the felt pices you spoke of in you article. Thanks for this. If it's okay I will use your article in a program I will have in May for a Women's group in the Grange in which I belong.
