Weaving Two Rag Rugs from Family Memories

Sleying the Reed


I started with connecting strips I cut from a mass of accumulated scraps from a cellar bin that has been the 25 year receptacle for miscellaneous cotton stripes and plaids.
Fancy blouse 1970's, ball forming

Jean's infant pj's 1982, Geza's cradle comforter 1985

ball of memories forming out of strips of scraps

all scraps for the rug reduced from chaos to a three pound ball
the deeper and brighter colors
Darks and brights underway
Lights Weaving underway
