Penny Rug Done

I've never made a penny rug before, but I love to blanket stitch so I thought I'd like this. I have 84 three layer pennies in this runner. It's all from the wool that I bought several weeks ago at the TS. The colors are camel, dark red, brown tweed, gray and black. I must tell you that I am glad to have it done. There's another project that I want to start and I told myself not until I had this done! What will power(just agree with me - no laughing!).

We have a late spring break this year. Only one more week of school and we'll be off for 5 days. Yeah! Can't wait.
Have a great weekend. ~Ann
