			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some months ago my daughter drew a pattern for me, I took one look and thought it would be great made as a rug. It&#8217;s taken me a long time to get around to it but at last I can show it to you.</p>

<p>I laid down eight layers of swaledale wool fibres and topped it with blue rug wool and lines of merino. In addition to rolling and stamping I also used the felting roller to help me get the edges nice and firm. Obviously this will now be snaffled by my daughter for her room.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to make your own felt rug why not <a href="mailto:angela.barrow@btinternet.com">sign up</a> for my workshop on Sat/Sun 26/27 June. Two days tuition, all your fibres, as much tea and coffee as you can drink, plus homemade cake all for just £95.</p>
