I had the whole project sitting out on the table all day Wednesday, glaring at it each time I walked past, wishing and hoping that I would decide to just take the easy way out, stick to my original plan, and make shelf pillows out of these little pumpkin squares.
In the end though, I couldn't do it. I knew that I had to make a penny rug.
It's still not completed. I need to put backings on the tongues, attach them and attach those little sunflowers in the center. Then to finish, I will sew on the backing.
And yes, that's a matching shelf pillow in the picture. I've only one finished though ... the one with the crow is halfway finished.
In other news, plans have already changed for college girl moving day. We were hoping to move Rachel's things down to her college apartment tomorrow but it's changed to Sunday now instead.
That's not really that much of a problem, except Sunday is August 16th. 34 years ago on August 16, my husband and I were married, so our anniversary will be spent moving furniture.

Oh well!
My husband has taken vacation time and we will have all week to celebrate, so it's ok.
Happy day everyone!

This rug is amazing!
Recently discovered you and just loved the fruit candle mats so I made one for my Mom's birthday gift. Used a crocheted runner with four fruits in the corners. The blueberries were fun to make also. Stuffed mine with wool scraps. I also like to use the kool-aid for dyeing wool.
