How to make a rug 101

[kingsolver72]

My brother asked me to make him a rug for his apartment. Its sort of a throw rug. I used to do a lot of border work streched over pad in K.C. back in the late 80s early 90s. My bro saw me do some of this kinda of work in the past. He is living in K.C. now (an hour drive from where I live) and going to school at the age of 51.He has some physical limitations...he walks to school..about 2 miles from his apt. He has a rough life and is working to improve it..I am very proud of him.

Its been a while since I have done anything like this.
