Finished the needlework rug!!!
I finally finished my custom Janet Granger rug. I used the After William Morris pattern in Miniature Needlepoint Carpets but changed the coloration and stitch count (I used 28 stitches per inch). I also did mine in cross stitch instead of needlepoint to make sure none of the fabric showed through the threads.
The entire rug consists of 142 hours of stitching time including 29.25 hours for filling in the red border and 42.25 hours for filling in the white background. It measures 5 5/8" square.
Here the rug is shown in the Newport, but I have a sneaking suspicion this will end up in another house entirely. :] The shoes and purse are by Patrizia Santi. I made the bedspread from venise lace; it is available in my etsy shop.
