Felt United Community Rug

For Felt United the small town of Virginia City Montana decided to make a community rug to help raise money for a local non-profit.    It was a great project, the workshop ran from 9:00 to 4:00 on October 1st.  About 15 ladies worked on the project.  We felted like mad to finish this rug.  The piece was laid out on four 6' long tables joined together and once completed it was a little smaller than a piece of 4x8 plywood.  You can see that in the photos.  We are all so pleased with the outcome, a nice thick well felted rug!  Enjoy!






(The piece is still wet, it dried to true colors.)  

This rug is now hung at the Elling House Arts and Humanities Center to be raffled off to raise money for that non-profit.  You can visit them at:  http://www.ellinghouse.org
