A penny rug is not a rug, but a table runner or wall hanging. From what I understand, they are made from wool scraps. They are cut into medallions of different sizes and stacked and stitched together using a blanket stitch.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I cannot master those things that I have not tried.

I have a neighbor who is big into 'penny rugs'.. she makes lots of 'candle cozies' as well as wall hangings and table runners... She appliques sweet designs like leaves, critters, hearts etc, wool on wool ...
When ever I am at a Thrift shop I keep my eyes open for colorful old wool clothing,,, bring it home, wash it, cut it up and give it to her.

This is a cute 'penny rug' door hanger...found it on the internet.
This is another cute candle cozy that I spotted on the internet...
I typed in 'penny rug' and found a bunch of sites, some that even offer free patterns.
Have fun.

Here's an old-timey one. This was made by my husband's great grandmother. It is all wool pieces (not felted) on a wool backing.

I really like these too! I made a candle rug, I guess you would call it. It is snowman faces, and you set a candle on it. I really like using the wool felt for these projects. It makes it extra special!

www.patternmart.com is a good source for penny rug patterns. I use felting tools to make mine instead of needle stitching. They are so much fun to make! Enjoy
