Have you seen Aunt Philly‛s toothbrush rugs? They are fun to make with just a simple tool that looks like the handle of a toothbrush. Lengthwise strips of fabric are used to create a rug that matches your quilt.  It is durable, washable and the entire process additive.  When you come to class, you will learn how to form the stitch and how to increase. After mastering that,

you will learn how to start your own rug. Great fun!
