After my first granddaughter was born in January 2019, I designed a little rug that I named after her. I decided it would be perfect for a nursery and began stitching it in July 2019 as a little project that fit perfectly onto a piece of leftover gauze that I had. It stitched up quite quickly and was a great small project to do. You may notice that the background is being stitched on a diagonal. I used the basketweave stitch (which is done on a diagonal) because it is supposed to help keep the rug square if you use different stitches. I used the tent stitch on the border to be my different stitch. When the background is a solid color this works. However, if the background is going to be done in an overdyed floss (as I used in my Heather rug), you must do the background in the tent stitch so that the "abrash" effect works properly.
I wish to take this moment to wish a Happy New Year to everyone as we say goodbye to this year and usher in a new decade. This past year has been a very exciting one for myself and family and I hope to enjoy many years of stitching and miniatures. Hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful 2020!
