Last week I was in the CreaTIV hub, Tiverton, to demonstrate how to fashion hand hooked blooms using rag rug techniques, and advertising my forthcoming workshop at the Hub on Sat. August 2nd. Passers by, intrigued by the knight in not-so-shining armour standing in the window to advertise the forthcoming St. James Fair, popped their heads around the door when they spotted me behind the knight working away on my rag rugs.
One woman told me that she recalled cutting up bed sheets to make into rag rugs. She remembered that they dyed the sheets with onions, and worked by the light of a Tilley lamp.
