I've been so inspired by Mary Jane, and by her books. I recently bought the Stitching room, and I have 2 other books on the way. I love the Stitching room book! I made a rag rug and love it! I am going to make a couple of more for my house.

That looks so nice. You did a wonderful job.
Making a rag rug has been on my "to list" for a long time.

It came out great Connie!!! I love the color too and it does look inviting to rest your feet on in the morning, that would sure help in getting out of bed :) BTW, Daisy's foot is cute :)

Karen, it's so easy, it's just single crocheting with a big plastic rag rug crochet hook and 1.5" wide long strips of fabric, like sheets.

I made a crocheted rag rug when I was pregnant with my youngest son, just as a "keep busy" project. He was almost three weeks late and I just kept working on the rug. Towards the end, I had to get down on the floor and move around the rug as I crocheted as it was too heavy and bulky to keep in my pregnant lap. It ended up being about 12 feet in diameter. I use it as the only floor covering in our cabin. It covers the entire living room and sticks into the dining room area too. It's a real bugger to wash but I love it. It reminds me of that time when I was pregnant with Cody.

Looks great! My daughter and I are going to learn how to make one too. The books I have with patterns don't explain it as easy as I need it. Any help on starting one would be appreciated.
