…how the heck Blogger’s new interface works, I made a rug!
It is made of two 100 ft. lengths of cotton clothesline wrapped with 3/4” strips of various batik fabrics.
I wish I had started my center with a longer width of clothesline rather than the two 2” I did use.
But I learned a lot and considering this was my first rug, I’m very happy with the end result.

The squiggle section was a moment of inspiration that took a few minutes to figure
out how to arrange it and make it stay. I really like the look of it!

And just for grins and giggles here is my model Frank displaying the rug.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Fabulous rug - very, very pretty.
Love love love your rug!!!
I love the rug. It makes me want to try to do one!
Love it - would love to see a "tutorial" on how you did that squiggle - it adds so much to your rug! (as does Frank!)
Awesome rug! Very clever squiggle!
WOW! that is fabulous!
I hate the new phase, too - better? upgrade? sorry but it is junk. Love the way you used your time though, tee, hee - the rug is just outstanding!
Tutorial, pretty please?
Wow - that is really cool! You did a fabulous job of picking bright and beautiful fabrics to make it sing :*) No matter Frank decided to rest there a while and model it for you! It sure does make him look good =^..^=
Batiks never looked so beautiful! Very nice! Obviously, Frank loves it too!
Now that is awesome!
It is a fabulous rug and a wonderful cat. Frank obviously approves. Thanks for sharing- I love how you created the beautiful squiggles.
Warmest regards,
Anna
How cool is that!!!
Awesome rug and colors...and your model? Precious!
It is fabulous...I just love it! The colours and the design are awesome! I don't think I'd let anyone stand on it...I'd frame it!!
The contrast between Frank and your rug is awesome. It shows off the best of both of them. Nice work.
Its a beautiful rug! Nice job...Frank sure is a handsome devil!
Frank has exceptional taste. He corrdinates wonderfully with the colors in your rug. I have never seen anything like your awesome squiggle. The rug really is a work of art and would look great hung on the wall too. Just love it!
I love your rug! My quiltgroup is going to make bowls this way in november. You inspired me to make a rug too!
Love it! Was there a tutorial you used by any chance?
So need a tutorial. How did you get the fabric to stay on the string? What technique did you use to make the coils stay together? How did you make the wavy line? I need to know! I love your rug. It is so pretty....makes me want to do one NOW!
