You Need:
For 1 Penny Rug & 6 Ornaments
Black wool (background) 12" x 19" piece
Gold wool 5" x 17" piece
Red wool and green wool 8" x 9" piece each
Red baby rickrack, 3/4 yd.
#8 perle cotton, gold, green, red, black
3/4" black buttons, 6
Plan!
The given yardage will allow you to make one set of ornaments and a penny rug. Pat used Moda wool for her matching set and did not use lining since the wool is very thick.
The ornaments could be cute gift tags and the penny rug is extra useful since it's not too seasonal in design.
Cut!
