Great grandfather went gold mining, so the story went, and left the wife and kids behind. When she hadn't heard from him for a while, great grandmother went looki...

Rag Rugs

After being stuck in the mud in Victoria this month, and battling to keep it out of the van, I decided to try to make a few rag rugs to cover the carpet with, and which are easy washed (or rinsed in a creek). Anyone done this, or have a pattern?
