Avery's Teardrop Penny Rug Kit

Is this not a gorgeous penny rug?  I was so taken with it the first time I saw it. This rug was designed and made by Cee who has a blog called The Diary of a Rugmaker.  Cee uses traditional methods to dye her wools, using onion skins to give her wools that aged colonial look. 

 



 

I bought the kit from Cee's Etsy shop.  The kit included the aged background with all the wool pennies and teardrops cut as well the aged string for stitching.   I'm so looking forward to starting the process of reproducing one of Cee's rugs.
