I am still weaving rugs and making ornaments for the
upcoming studio tour. I have three rugs hemmed and ready to tag. I think they
turned out nicely. The denim ones are harder
to make simply because they take
more effort to cut the strips, sew them together and
to beat them into sturdy
rugs. The others are simpler and easier to beat and
the new Toika loom is a dream to work on!
I always hem my rugs. I serge the ends and then use a triple
rolled, hand stitched hem using upholstery thread. Fringe is an easier finish
but I always thought it made rugs look messy and that is always the first place
that starts to wear.

I still have time to finish a few more rugs; but time is
running out, and I am running out of steam. After the tour I am going to take a
couple of months off and enjoy the holidays. I have so many projects to work on
for myself and the house. I am looking forward to a snowy winter, but if there
is not much snow then that will be all right too. The house will still be a warm
and cozy haven for Pog, Sadie and me to be together in!
those are beautiful, blessings on your show!
