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?

It's beautiful, Melody, and the title describes the colors perfectly! It has a really serene look to it.
Peace in our hearts, peace in the world

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!

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!
