My friend Kelley sent me some bagged pennies, so I used some of those along with mine.
I also cut into some to get a more primitive look.
I love how it came out and am thinking of making some more versions.
I will have it on ebay tomorrow night. I wasn't too pleased with the pictures, so hoping I can get some outdoor shots tomorrow.
I used black cotton ticking for the backing. The type I get is from a local store and it is the nice weight, so gives a bit of substance to the piece. I used walnut spray to antique it and this time, I stitched a name tag to the back.

Great penny rug! I love the ticking backing. You could even sew the pennies directly onto the ticking for a mixed look.

That penny rug is adorable!!! The ticking fits along so well with the front.
Beautiful Debbie! I just love penny rugs...love making them and putting them on my tables. I love the colors and then the pillow ticking on the back..very early looking!
Absolutely gorgeous!
I would love to own one of these...unfortunately I can not stitch at all!
Curious to know how much you would charge to make one of these for a fellow blogger?!
Love the front and the back! Great idea to use the ticking for the back too. :-)
This rug came out beautifully! I also like the backing and am glad you signed it. All of your wonderful work should be signed in some way. Keep those fingers busy and nimble!
SUPER Gorgeous!
