A Sunny Rainbow of Colours Runner

                                                        
Look at the colours in this one!
Now, hmm, how to hold them together so I can take them along or make a kit?

Butter yellow 3" circles and a collection of 3/4" from the rainbow.
This rug will be about 28" x 14.5"
This rug can be stitched to a full piece later, or different 3" pieces for self backings?

This could be stitched with all the same thread,
or use up lots of bits and colours,
making more of a rainbow.
(yummmmmmm)

Okay, ready to go -

Now here's a complete contrast.
How about "Down and Dirty" or it's "All about the Army"
This collection of army greens.  What a great grubby runner this will make.
Stitch just single 2" cirlces to a feed sack or piece of linen or cotton.  Line with something simple.
Have I got too many projects now, or two more kits?

  2. This will be beautiful completed. I love the colors. I am trying to do this off and on. I purchased a kit. It has taken me some time to figure the stitching part out. Your blog has been a help to me. Thanks!

  3. All of your projects are darling!! I love the look of the 'flower' one ~top pic.

    Do you cut all those circles by hand or is there a trick to it?

    Those little cups are a cute idea to store the circles in.

  4. Absolutely GORGEOUS! What a fab idea! I'm just starting to get into Penny Rugs and Wool Felt crafts! My aunt introduced me to them last year and I am in LOVE! These are perfect for my style of home decor :) I am LOVING what I see on your blog and Etsy store (just made my first purchase).

    Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!

  7. Wow, I just love the colors in this rug. I think that I have a 'bag' of baby pennies that you sent to me a couple of years ago. When my eyes start to co-operate a little better, I'll get to stitching something similar. Thanks for the inspiration as always.

    Wooly hugs,
