I have made the decision to go with the buttery yellow cotton for the background fabric and add bits of a few other fabrics that you can view in the picture above. I love the fluffy piles of fabric strips that await my selection at just the right time and place. Cotton is definitely the best fabric to use in these rugs because you can rip and tear the strips; you don't have to cut them with a rotary cutter like I do sometimes. Plus, I just love the feel of cotton, don't you? Real natural fibers are always the best as far as I'm concerned. Synthetic fibers do serve their purpose in this world; but I don't like the feel of them.
I spent a little time this morning sewing the strips of yellow cotton together so I could wind them on a shuttle. And then I was ready for the fun part of actually weaving! So, here I go with a background of yellow and splashes of green, aqua, and a mixed patterned fabric. Thank you, Lord, for giving me the desires of my heart and allowing me to be the creative person you designed me to be.
