ANSWER - Helen Mac-
Kinney sent information re
quested about penny rugs:
“No one knows for sure
when or where penny rugs
came into use. The rugs
can be documented back to
the American Civil War, but
many have come into being
well before. Today, penny
rugs refer to wool-on-wool
applique, generally using a
blanket, whipstitch or other
simple embroidery stitch.
The use was decorative in
nature, put on tabletops or
sofa backs. The tabs are
referred to as tongues, the
circles are the pennies,
often thought to be named
for the coins used as tem
plates and traced onto wool
scraps used to make the
rugs.”
Here are several ad
dresses for those search
