THE lovely Carolyn at Comfy & Cosy asked whether the penny eggs might actually be penny rugs. Well, it seems they are indeed. I’d searched on the internet for a reference to penny eggs, but couldn’t find one. Carolyn spotted the art form and I have since found a wealth of information about a craft I could well get into. I don’t have the patience for patchwork or quilting, but I could do this. I love the thrift of it. I love rag rugs and the idea of using remnants to create something practical and beautiful.
