Two-N-One Rag Rug Loom

 One Rag Rug Loom--Two Sizes. . . .Isn't that clever?

The full loom will create a rug that measures approximately 16" x 26"

suitable for a small rug for the floor or large mat for the table. . .

Move the lower bar to make a smaller one that measures approximately 16" x 13"

suitable for place mats.

It's like getting two looms for the price of one.

Debra's Rag Rug Reveal and Link to Weaving a Rag Rug

I'm a little late getting this link to you. . . .Debra emailed me last week. . . .She had finished her first Rag Rug! . . . and has revealed it on her blog: Frugal Little Bungalow. . . .Isn't it fantastic? . . .Love the colors. . . .I've experimented with various patterns myself but I think the simple stripe is my favorite--and much quicker to weave.

To read all about Debra's Rag Rug and view more photos, hop on over there and visit with her. . . .She has a special treat for you, too. . . .A link to a video series on Weaving Rag Rugs. . . .Don't miss that. . . .The instructions John sends with the loom will teach the basics but a video will explain the technique so much better. . . .I like visual aids, too.

Thanks so much, Debra, for sharing your first Rag Rug with us. . . .and the video link, too. . . .And, thanks from John and me for the Shout Out! . . .We do appreciate you!

Happy Rag Rugging!

 

First Rag Rug Completed, Featured in Delta Crossroads, and Shipping Update

Hi Everyone!

 I have a lot to tell you!

First of all, John finished his first RAG RUG!

We were cooped up in the house over the weekend. . . .

Ice, Snow, and really Cold Temps--for this neck of the woods.

 

John spent the time Rag Rugging. . . .

 

 

He's so proud of it. . . .Can you blame him?

He picked the colors and chose strips of his own clothing--

shirts and jeans. . . .

I wasn't real sure about the colors, but love how it turned out.

 

 

Speaking of Rag Rugs, we're in the Christmas Issue of

Delta Crossroads Magazine 

 

 

Revis Chipman wrote a wonderful article, revealing the story behind

 our revival of this almost lost Folk Art (in the Delta),

as well as other tidbits, including a little about

The Country Farm Home . . .

 

If you'd like to read it, there's a free digital copy at:

Delta Crossroads Magazine

That's me on the Table of Contents page (15)

and Rag Rug Renaissance begins on page 105.

 

While you're there, check out the other features. . . .

lots of holiday inspiration. . . .

We were so honored to be a part of it!

 

 

Our Old Country Store will be closing next week until the first of the year!

Last day of shipping--December 18th.

We extended the time for a couple of more days. . . .

Mark your calendars!

 

Happy Holidays to Everyone!

Hope you're enjoy the Christmas Season!

 

 



A New Look: Rag Rug and Wool Applique Combined

I've combined two of my favorite crafts--Rag Rugs and Wool Applique! . . .And, I LOVE the look.

The Rag Rug is woven primarily with blue jean strips. . . .The Mom and Chicks Applique is stitched on a felted wool background. . . .Then I used Wonder Under fusible tape to attach the two together. . . .So easy. . . .and so dramatic. . . .Don't you think?

This one won't make it to the floor. . . .It's going on the center of the table. . . .

I plan to add felted wool hearts and other appliques to several of my Rag Rugs to give as gifts. . . .It's amazing how this simple technique adds so much more to the rugs. . . .Maybe an option you can incorporate into your creations. . . .

Just adorable. . . .if I do say so myself. . . .

 

 

PLEASE NOTE:

Our Old Country Store will close for the Holidays

on December 16, 2013. . . .We'll re-open January 1, 2013.

No orders will be shipped after December 16.

 

 



Rag Rug Photo Shoot with Delta Crossroads Magazine!

 

Rag Rugging is certainly catching on. . . .and I couldn't be more thrilled!

 

When John and I started weaving rag rugs for a hobby, we had no idea how fast it would catch on. . . .Our intent was not to sell looms. . . .That came later. . . .We simply wanted to demonstrate the technique here at the Widner-Magers Farm Historic District. . . .It was a Folk art that reaches back in our Delta history that we didn't want to be lost. . . .Come to find out, it's an art form that has almost died out in a lot of other states, too. . . .

 

 Delta Crossroads Magazine got wind of our efforts. . . .contacted us and asked if we'd be interested in them doing a feature. . . .Is there any answer to that question but "YES!"

The log house seemed the perfect setting. . . .Our pioneer clothing came out of moth balls. . . .and we set up everything in time to take these few shots for ourselves before Revis Chipman arrived to shoot the official ones. . . .

Revis grew up in the Delta, but she had never seen these rugs woven before. . . .I only remember a lady weaving them way back when I was only 3 or 4.

We spent the entire morning with Revis. . . .and even taught her how to weave. . . .

 

Not sure when the article will come out, but with my red boots and green skirt,

wouldn't it be perfect for the Christmas issue?

hint. . . .hint

 

Whatever issue we end up in will be fine. . . .

Just thrilled that we had the opportunity to introduce

'Rag Rugging' to more people. . . .

Spreading the word. . . .
