Love the video and the project. I was looking for something easy and quick to do for our church shut-ins as a thinking of you gift. Someone had donated some Christmas themed material so I think I will get some fall material and do the two sided seasonal theme mud rugs. Great idea and I think these elderly folks will enjoy them. Thanks for sharing. <3
