This UFO is from a BOM shared by Melody last year..... It is her Home Sweet Home Penny Rug and I have finally finished off the last touches having spent the last couple of days frantically sewing it ....
I chose to back the rug with a large piece of felt
(well shrunken woollen blanket)
and used some well loved kitchen utensils to trace my circles
... all done...
We have rather a boring storage box (grandiechildren toys) in the lounge room
.... perfect .....
I used a lovely old linen tablecloth for the main piece and the felt is all old woollen blankets which have been felted ... some I even found in the 'dog blankets' section....
This was a UFO from last year... glad to get it done... now that means I get to start a new project.....
Righto, Gotto Go... tracing to do....

Fiona your Home Sweet Home Penny Rug sure cheers up the chest..
Sew gorgeous and bright..
Beautiful, Fiona. I didnt realise it would be so big.
Great job Fiona! Not only do you have a finish but you also used up some recycled wool. It looks nice and colorful on the toy chest.
Fiona, I love the fact that you have recycled and wow how delightful. Very cheery and perfect for the wooden toy box.
Fiona, that rug is beautiful. I love your wooden spoon shaped pennies on the edge.
A nice finish.
