Handmade Rescue
The man was photographing ice crystals on the windows early this morning when he trained his camera on my newest Handmade Rescue.
I stopped into the local Goodwill to try to find some cheap food bowls for the rabbits. When I spied this I had to get a closer look. I was so fascinated by the design. I haven’t seen anything like it before. It seems to be re-purposed wool. Each rectangle is stitched on all four sides and then the pieces are stitched together. Add that fancy crocheted edge and… Viola!
As if I need more ideas for projects. But I am not sure I can resist trying my hand at this.
So what I was going to say was that this is the second Handmade Rescue that I can think of and it just gives me a thrill to rescue something that someone put so much effort into. The other one was a gorgeous hooked rug, that I will have to post about sometime. I thought it would be fun to spread the fun around. Please share your Handmade Rescues if you have any! You can link from the comments sections so we can all see. And maybe I will have to figure out how to set up a flickr group. Anyone interested?
Hey, I actually figured out how to set up a flickr group. Here it is if you care to join or just browse!
So, are these lap robes? Blankets? Great idea!
I love the Handmade Rescue…..Was it machine stitched around each piece of wool? So then you could crochet around it? I’d really like to know. I am rug hooker and have so much wool and this is such a neat Idea….am glad someone rescured it that appreciated the time that went into making it…..Please let me know.
