Toothbrush Rugs

HI!
I promised I'd post a few notes from the toothbrush rug demos. The rug here is one I made last fall.
Toothbrush rugs are a great way to use up all kinds of fabrics. You can use nice quilt leftovers but old shirts and pants with spots and tears go well in these too, as do old sheet, stained tablecloths - you get the picture? They all look great in a rug.

If you want to learn more about these rugs, just google toothbrush rugs. You'll find instructions, videos and products that help make these rugs. Bring your rugs to upcoming quilt meetings so we can all admire them!

Quilt Market in Houston

Quilt Market was in Houston Texas last week.

This trade show for quilt shop owners features booths

 by fabric companies, publishers, notions vendors, etc.

The Merchant's House by Ruth Powers

They also have quilt exhibits on a variety of themes.

Ruth Powers had a quilt in a show called Tactile Architecture

And Linda Everhard had a booth for her pattern company, which is called "Among Friends."

She's all set up here on the morning of the first day.

The women from the Eudora quilt shop

demonstrate twilling for their "Of One Mind" pattern company.
