~When the Scrap Basket is Full...Go Raggin'!~

Good Morning All! As I was packing up my sewing room for this move, I found that I had so many scraps of fabric that were way to small to use for quilts or pillows...but big enough to keep! Oh yes, I'm a fabric hoarder! (wink) I organized all of the scraps into a big basket that my dear friend Vicki made for me. Everytime I make something and have little cuttings of fabric leftover..into the basket they go! When the basket is chock-full, it's time to make a rag rug! This rag rug will be tied and locker hooked with a pretty pink & white carnation in the middle. I love rugs, and it is so hard to find pretty, rugs that don't cost a fortune. This is a wonderful craft to use up scraps and create something unique, excersise old Arthur, and easy to do while watching a good movie!
What do you do with your scrappy's?
Blessings~

  1. G'morn, sweetie! What a darling creation. Anxious to see when you are done.

    I have seen the lollipop feedsack print before, never in person & thrilled to now own one.

  2. Ohhhhhhh looks like it will be gorgeous!!!! Do you use a latch hook or just tie knots? Where do you get your canvas? I've been looking all over for some. I have tons of yarn that I should make a rug out of since I can't crochet any more.
    Have a great day!
    ((hugs))
