rug hooking felted sweater trapunto kit





I was asked by the Anne Arundel Rug Hookers, a McGown HookCrafters Guild, to do a presentation of my "Mother's Treasures" rug. This rug I have on my blog in many stages and is a Bev Conway pattern called "He who laughs.. last" that I adapted to be my daughters and myself. They liked it because I've used lots of proddy and trapunto with felted wool sweater pieces.


In preparation I made up some kits to allow them to give it a try themselves. Here are two before and after shots. I will be posting them on my etsy site... maybe my ebay store too, since I can't decide which way to go!!
