Description
(C)Many years ago I was designing a piece called THE CHOCOLATE FOREST. It was a full-size quilt that contained blocks featuring all kinds of woodland items. One of the blocks was based on this antique (circa. 1920's) design of a fox using very simple lines. I loved it but there was not enough room in the quilt to include it. So, I set it aside and it has been tucked away in my studio since then.
This penny rug is made with 100% virgin wool (Woolrich) using a black background and hand-dyed wool in the colors of white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The stitching is meticulously done by hand. The wool is a superior quality and was moth-proofed at the Woolrich mill in Pennsylvania. There is no danger of ever getting holes in it.
As you can see, I never did line the piece because I had intended to use it in the quilt. You can either display it as is, line it with your choice of wool or fabric, or even make it into a pillow. (I should have done that years ago!!!) Anyway, it's the only one ever made and is meant to be displayed and enjoyed.
Happy to answer any questions. Please see photos for up-close detail.
Thanks for looking.
