Following her recent hip-replacement operation, my craftwork-crazy wife felt that she needed something to keep herself occupied during the convalescent period. So, taking advantage of the fact that we had a few empty sacks (which had previously held nuts or seeds for the local wildlife) and an assortment of materials which had seen better days, she decided to have a go at making a rag-rug.

The reverse side of the completed rug can be seen (below - bottom right). Click on photos to enlarge.
The front side is shown below. The photo doesn't really show the depth of the rug. However, take it from me, it's extremely comfortable to stand on......
