I feel a wee bit sorry for my self today. I have back pains and have been eating strong medicine to ease of the pain. The house is a mess and all I want to do is continue to crochet on my rag carpet! Add more layers of fabric yarn to the project.
I got these balls of striped fabric Wednesday when Maria and I went thrifting. I have been wanting to weave for about two years, but never found the right place and time. It will come someday I’m sure. But since Li inspired me to crochet with fabric, I wanted to give it a try when I found these balls of fabric.
The wonderfull colours just makes me smile. They are so me.
Sunshine and summer colours: pink, orange, green, yellow!
More people that is adding layers at Studio Friday today, but please add your comment first. I’d love to hear from you.
Very nice colors! I hope you feel better soon – back pain is no fun!
The rag carpet is looking great – the colors are so bright & happy! Hope you are feeling better soon!

The rug is going to be beautiful. How lucky you are to find the balls of fabric. Someone’s unfinished project. Will you show us again when it is finished? I think that is a great thing to do while recuperating from back pain.
I agree with you about the colours here, they make me smile too and remind me of summer memories! This will be such a beautiful rug and I cannot wait to see the finished project!
I hope that your back pains go away, such discomfort is NO FUN especially on the weekend!!
Feel better!
~~Have a great weekend!!~

what beautiful colours, hope your feeling better soon.
The rug is so bright and cheery! I love it! Hope you are feeling better soon.
What a fantastic rug! Those colours are to die for!
i hope you feel better soon! back pain is never fun. i really love the rug you’re making. i’ve been wanting to knit or crochet something out of fabric for awhile now… it looks wonderful!
I am so glad to see your rug!!! I am creating a reading nook on our back porch and I need a rug to cover up the ugly grey floor paint. I thought of crocheting one for myself because I have a lot of fabric, but I wasn’t sure if it would look good.
Now that I see how fantastic yours looks, I can try one for myself. I’m glad to be able to choose my own colours. I doubt that Ikea would have exactly what I want
Thanks :)

[…] Crocheting a rug with torn fabric stripes is the perfect summer project. A bit dusty, somewhat big but a great leisure pursuit on the balcony when the sun is out. I started this project in july and have just sewn the last fabric stripes in place on the backside. I crocheted this with a big sized hook and lots of great colours. […]
this is a georgeus rug and i wish i could do one..what an inspiration you are.i have back troubles every day and i know how you feel…hang in there…i love to crochet and just started to again but my trigger finger and tendunitus are acting up…beautiful rug.
