"My husband and I have collected windmill weights for many years. Someone I know suggested I hook a rug that centered around the weights. What a great idea! The design for this rug came to me very quickly. Because most people have no idea what a windmill weight is, I wanted people to be able to look at the rug, figure out what a windmill weight was, and where they might see one."
