I am a magazine junkie, there I said it. My friends all know it.
Penny rugs and magazines, is there anything else, oh excuse me, of course! Grandchildren!
But really, when I see a picture of an old penny rug, I'm all over it. Trying to decide how it was made, what was used.
The next best thing would be finding a vintage one in real life.
Perhaps one day, in the meantime, let's talk about some of my research... a small sampling.
This is a great book, look for it in thrift stores and on ebay.
Better Homes and Gardens
Traditional American Crafts
The pattern for the rug below is in the book.
Great post...I'm going to have to look thur my magazines that I have stashed away:)

Thank you for such a great blog! I'm going to try my very first one this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have the first book but will certainly be on the lookout for the second. Thanks for sharing the eye candy. I have all my pennies made for one right now. I just need to get them together.
