PENNY RUG EMBELLISHMENT

 
January has me at my wits end trying to fill the cold days with something productive.  I usually start my spring cleaning (my dust bunnies are particularly large this year!) and do some handwork.  I love making penny rugs, an old fashioned way of using up old wool blankets and scarves.  This year I made a table runner, and added wool felted cottonwood leaves, blanket stitching and running stitching to give it movement.  Fun, easy, and I can still watch my favorite t.v. shows while sewing!
