I have a confession.
in the Ozark Mountains.
But, I Was at a lake,
and I Did eat some fish!
While there, I began another rag rug,
inspired by the blues in the sky,
the greens of the trees,
and the whites of the Dogwood in bloom.
I think you can see my inspiration--
the view from my deck.
It all began when I visited a thrift store.
They were having a Bag Sale--
all you could get in a brown paper bag
for $5.00.
I spotted the turquoise curtains first,
and then added shirts and skirts
in the whites and blue-greens;
tore all into strips,
and started weaving.
There's a rhythm to weaving
that is so comforting.
Add to that a little bit of a breeze,
the fragrance of flowers blooming,
songs from birds in the trees,
For more rag rug inspiration:
Love your inspiration. . .beautiful!!
