I wanted to combine rag rugging with stamping on this page. I have stamped my favourite Lost Coast image of a happy couple!! Recently I bought a rag rugging tool so I have used little scraps of material to make a frame. I have added some embroidery and the words "they led such a passionate life". Does anyone know where the image for this stamp came from..is it a famous painting as I have seen it on the tv programme Desperate Housewives in the title.

The rag rug brought back memories of childhood. I used to lie on one in front of an open fire. Of course it was a way of using up clothes which were beyond repair. It was great to see the fabric of an old favourite dress.
Thios is a really inventive way to incorporate the rag rugging with something and create an original
I think the artist was Grant Wood
def called American Gothic

You've been busy! Love the Leandra beads and this rag rugging combined with stamping looks fabulous! I knew the name of the painting but you've got that info already :o)
