I have been wanting to post these photos since my visit with my grandmother in Florida last month. I would be remiss not to share with you some of the work that she does.
Kathryn is 92 years old. This winter she made two crocheted rag rugs. One in bright colors and another in more muted tones.
Annie loved them!
A close up of the detail and Mary's tootsies.
Here is the muted one which she is still planning to enlarge.
These rugs are made from 100% cotton sheets. Grandma cuts each sheet into 1 inch strips and sews the strips together end to end. Then she folds them in half and crochets them together, being careful to tuck in the cut ends, so as not to fray. She told me that it took several twin sized sheets to make one rug. I am just amazed at the gumption this woman exhibits. She also quilts every Wednesday with a dozen other ladies from church.
I find her so inspiring.
