Default I bought a little rug kit!
I've been wanting to do a rug for years so whilst on 'sew and so' yesterday I spotted a small one (20cmx20cm) to have a go at. It's a strawberry so wish me luck!

Good luck Beth, its a bonny wee rug!! I've done a couple of latch hook rugs and they've been pretty fun

I'm not sure if your kit contains anything to finish the back of the rug, so here are a few things that I wish I'd known about when I was finishing mine!!

Rug finishing items from Sew and So: http://sewandso.co.uk/ran1079-0.html - The self-adhesive tape would have been a godsend if I'd known about it! And the foam backing would be fab if you're expecting the rug to be used a lot...

Lakeland do a non-slip coating so that your rug won't slide around on any surface but can still be repositioned...

Thanks for that Angela I didn't know about that so it's great information for me

Might make it into a cushion as it's only a tiny rug, or hang it on a wall....

But I can't start it until I've finished my current project which I'm stitching as a pressie for my Mum at the wedding

It's only tiny Nikki, about 20cmx20cm so I don't want to put it on the floor Think I'll try and make it into a cushion, if that's easy to do?

Oh Beth, that stitching for your mum is gorgeous. Something to treasure always. Are you nearly finished it?

To be honest Saph, I've only just started it I've finished the brides skirt and I'm on the mother's dress now

I'll have it finished by the end of the summer!!
