Penny rug (candle mat)

Penny rugs were made by rural American women in the 1800's. Any size "penny" could be used. (pennies, buttons or spools). Though they were named penny rugs they were usually used on a table or larger ones for a back of a chair. This was a lot of fun and plan to make larger ones for a table top. This one could be used under a candle or lamp.
