Calgary Bay memory rug designed,made and owned by Jane Rushworth circa 2011. Size in inches 38" x21"  Materials used a mixture of woollen sources including blankets, tweeds and woollen jumpers. The rug was made in North Yorkshire
The story about the rug.  This rug is a memory rug of Calgary bay on the isle of Mull. I wanted to try using a wider range of colours and thicknesses of woolen fabrics to create more variety within the rug. It is also a memory rug including blanket from my Mother and material from friends and fellow rugmakers. It also reminds me of a fabulous place to be with beautiful blue sea and white beaches. The colours include pinks, greens, blues, purples, yellows, creams, black and grey all of which are as sourced. The thickesses are varied and the rug includes tweeds notably blue and purple ones.
