I can tell just after the first couple of rugs that I am getting the "hang" of it now----Just wish I could continue on after completing a rug, but I am still having issues with one end section getting less and less taut as I weave along-I know it is because I did not use a tension box when I loaded on the warp at the very beginning. And, now that I have my new "Toika" temple it is helping immensely..... So, I will just continue to cut the rug I complete then tie on with each new rug. Whew....who knew fun would be so much work?

MIL LOVED the rug! That made me very happy because she is the sweetest lady I know and I also know she appreciates the effort behind the gift!

All hem stitched to assure no unraveling of the hem once it's tossed into the washer-labeled with my cloth "Union #36 Rag Rugs" logo and wrapped in neat little bows with remnants of the rug strips I had left over-Ready for my MIL's "Happy Mother's Day gift this weekend.
Start sewing strips this afternoon for Rug #6!
