Braiding

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. It was beautiful yesterday and I enjoyed it! Now I am really in the mood to do things outside.
 Last week I went to the hookin in Millersburg and Heavens to Betsy was there. Betsy and her hubby were so nice and of course I bought lots of wool. I had to leave early, so I missed Betsy showing how to add a braid to your rugs. Rhonda Thomas kindly showed me how to do the technique Betsy showed everyone. So here it is, love the look. Also, the design is by Tonya-Madhen Primitives. I've always wanted to make a big braided rug and I might just try it. Happy Sunday!

    You did a great job on the braided edge! Rug is wonderful, too (as always)!
    A rainy Sunday here but since we can use the rain I won't complain too much, but it really was a lousy day for an outdoor rescue event. All the work they did...sigh.
    Hugs :)

    I am going to a hookin tomorrow in Kinderhook NY and Betsy and Hubby will be there. I can't wait to look at all her wool and of course make my selections. It's always fun to get together with other hookers and ooh and aah at their rugs.
