My Mum is a weaver...




Mum weaves rag rugs.  And she does it really well.  She made this Pendleton wool beauty for us for Christmas.  Of course it is far to gorgeous to go on the floor so I will lay it across the top of the couch once the Christmas rag rug is put away.  Oh my word.  Soft, muted but with that wonderful soft red. Thanks, Mum!  Maybe I will just wear it!

Mum also brought me a grey and yellow rug.  It matches my sewing room perfectly... except for the 70s flooring.  You can tell it is my sewing room because of the piles of fabric and that lovely cone of Aurifil on the counter.  We have rugs from Mum allover the house.  You can see the progression from simple stripes to these complicated patterns.  Clever Mum.

  1. Those are just gorgeous! How does she do that, does she have a loom or is it hand done some other way? Lucky you to have such a nice and talented mom!

  3. When I saw the photo of your mothers beautiful weaving I thought it was a shawl, it's so beautiful!! And the one for your sewing room is wonderful too.
