Lovely Floral Rag Basket

My latest craft obsession is making rag baskets, quilts, rugs, etc. This is the first rag basket made by crocheting fabric strips together for sale in my Artfire Shop. Lovely slate blue and mauve flowers decorate this lovely floral basket. This basket measures 7 inches across the base, 8 inches across the top, and stands 2.5 inches high.

Rag Rug - Finally Finished!!

I started this project in August. First I made the fabric yarn using the slit method for joining the strips. I found that this method was least noticeable. Next, I started a long chain for the center of the oval shaped rug. It did turn out a bit longer than I had expected - but not by too much. The colors were picked, not by me, to represent water lilies. I hope that everyone has enjoyed seeing my progress on this project - I know that I enjoy going back through my blog and viewing the previous posts.To get a sense of the rug's size, it is shown on a full size quilt in the photo below.

Now I am hooked on rag items - I have already started a rag quilt and crocheted a couple of rag baskets!
