Welcome to the Studio at Red Top Ranch. Red Top Ranch is the southwestern Nebraska home of a small outdoorsy family, three rescued dogs and one fiber artist who specializes in hand knit scarves and handmade rag rugs.

Handmade Rag Rugs:
I began making handmade rag rugs as a way to use up leftover and unloved fabric. As I studied rugmaking, it became a way to learn and preserve an art developed by women who made-do by repurposing clothes and curtains because they had no other materials available. I respect the artistry and talent of those rural women who lived a hard, duty-filled life and yet saw and created beauty every day. I aspire to the their skill and values using the same patchwork style in the same braiding, twinning, and hooking techniques.
