My brother is on vacation and saw this:

Worlds Largest Navajo Rug: world record in Winslow, Arizona

Well worth reading the article, I didn't watch the videos, no clue about them.

WAY COOL!! Lovely work!!

That is an awesome and beautiful piece of work. I will take the time to read the article after dark (or if Mother Nature decides to cry on me...) It's amazing what can be done with very simple machinery, expertise and time.

It is beautiful! So much work went into it, too - from wool harvest & processing, to dying, creating the pattern... just, WOW!
