Rag Rug Class

Rag Rug from old cotton bedding sheets....
A very 'intent' group of crochetting ladies...

Ok, so today a handful of us gals converged on Rebekkah at the MaryJane farm store in
Coeur D'Alene, Idaho.
First I have to say, "Thank you" Rebekkah, what a great job you did teaching us "Crochet hook challenged" ladies...lol!
What a delightful time we had trying our hand at crocheting strips of sheeting into a rug...I am not sure I am doing it correctly but it is turning out cute and I am now thinking I may have to make a few more of these as gifts.....
It really is easy and it is amazing how a really ugly sheet can turn into a really colorful rug.
Oh and of course there was the usual gabfest, coffee and then after the class we hit the Antique shops....and yes, I could not resist buying some vintage Chenille fabric(old bedspread) as well as vintage sewing patterns....It was a very productive day.
