on the fringe of.....

 

Hey Friends & Folk!

hoping you are all enjoying the cooler temps like we have here in VA today
(ok, drier, maybe not exactly cooler)

I'm keeping those of you in the path of the hurricane in my thoughts ~ may you all be safe!

thought I'd share a few pics of my little rug that I've just finished...
I wanted to finish the edge a little differently, so I hand-knotted on some wool fringe...

 

 

a fun & festive finish!

I really like how this turned out...
I've only finished one other rug like this before, but you can be sure I'll be doing this more often....

on the back, I've stitched on some brown/cream repro cotton calico for a simple finish...
and stitched on my label too...

it's important to always label your original work :)




 

here's a closer look...primitively stitched, but neat & tidy ~

I do not mind loose threads at all...
I think they convey the handwork in a rich sense....

 I hand-knot the fringe on before I add the fabric binding, so that the fringe lays flat.
don't you just love this look?

 

As always, I love to share my original work & designs with you,

so please be respectful by never copying my work in any way ~

(hate to say that, but some folks 'out there' have real issues about being 'inspired' by others' work
...& I'm not talking about the fringe, I'm talking about the design)

 

would you like to see a video of how I hand-knot the fringe on?
am thinking of making a little tutorial ...nothing special, just my way of doing it :)

 

let me know what you think?
