The Sari rug - and now for something completely different!

Here's the photos of the most unusual rug I've ever made




This rug is NOTHING like I've ever done before, or ever will again... I cut the strips very narrow, stitched very loosely except the final row.

I like to do different things with each rug... and having done this... I don't expect I'll do it this way again.

Colors worked well, but not ones I liked.

Mostly made from saris I "rescued" from an ignominious interment in a landfill when we lived in Chicago.

Planning the colors for a rug: A conversation with my mother about a most atypical rug

Some time ago, I set my new camera up on a tripod and shot some videos of me and my mother doing "ruggy things." This was one of the better videos of that lot, though I do notice that the camera couldn't make up its mind what the color temperature of the lighting was.
