Penny Rugs new for sunweeds

I made this cute MOO card holder this week, it's already been through the wash once I forgot to take it out of my pocket On the colour bath theme this week, we had a little too much green in the bath last night the girls have green fingernails today... I think it's pink tonight! This is a Penny Rug I made for a custom order on Madeit. In the 1800s, starting around the time of the Civil War, thrifty homemakers would use scraps of wool or felted wool from old clothing, blankets and hats to create designs for mats or rugs. Using coins as templates, they created circles and each piece was then hand stitched. I love old fashioned things and this is my take on the traditional penny circles... flowers of course. I am going to be working on lots more of these, I'm loving working with felt, I plan to do themed ones with matching button and felt flowers. Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, Seasons etc coming soon!
