ONE OF A KIND - PENNY RUG
Recreation of a very intricate and unique penny rug I found in the American Country Time Life book series called "The Needle Arts" pgs. 92 and 97. The rug is made of recycled/hand dyed wools. It measures 29 1/2" x 26". It is completely hand stitched, appliqued, and embroidered. Some of the stitches used include stem, feather, seed, and blanket. I did not include the last row of pennies as in the original since it took a couple of months to complete it at its current size! Price: $795.00.
At the center of the rug around "1893", you will find pennies of dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. Moving out from the center of the rug are rows of cherries/strawberries, tea pots/kettles, and stars.
