Milestones
As I look back upon the rugs that have kept my hands occupied, I realize that most commemorate a major milestone in someone's life.
Many have been wedding gifts. Some for birthdays #30, #50, #80. A few for special anniversaries, housewarmings, farewells or welcomes.
One of my latest creations was a rug for my niece's 30th birthday. It was to be "ugly", since the area she plans to place it is well traveled. Tried as I might to make it "dirty" to hide the dirt, it turned out beautiful! Here it is in all it's glory!
