Well, it's not actually my first rag rug, but the first one was so long ago it seems like my first rag rug. When my daughter was home for Christmas we shopped for fabric to make a new cover for her comforter. We didn't get around to this until the day before Katie left to go back to Texas so I was left with the fabric. She wanted the cover to have 2 different sides. Here's what the two sides look like.

I had left-over fabric and a small guild I belong to has talked about doing a rug project. We often come up with good ideas for projects and everyone gets excited about it, but some of us don't follow through. I did it! The only problem is that I mailed the rag rug to Katie so the only proof that I have of my project is this photo.
