So in the last post I showed that we were making our first ever painted floor cloth.
It's turning out just how we wanted it to.
3 coats of base color
Turning the hem - we used two sided carpet tape.
Tried the Gorilla glue but it didn't work.

ReplyDeleteGood morning and thank you so much!
DeleteWow, nice floor cloth! Hope you're well and thriving:)
ReplyDeleteYour rug is wonderful! And the patterns as well. :~)
ReplyDeleteHi Robin:
ReplyDeleteAs others have said and I agree, you do beautiful work. Just knowing what to do in the floor cloth amazes me. It turned out really super. When I read your bog it just mimicked my life in the last year. I lost my sister to Covid last December and I ended up with two surgeries for kidney stones. I have great admirations for anyone who gets through these. This is the third time for me and some of us apparently just produce these terrible things.
Thanks too for being so forgiving about Pinterest. Love the sampler you are working on. By now you have probably finished it. Once I get over the Vertigo, I do hope to return to my stitching. Love reading your blog Robin.
Have a great life
