Badding Rug
The Badding Rug is a Victorian cross-stitch needlepoint made in 1950 entirely by hand by Carolyn Badding of San Leandro, California. Measuring 12 feet by 15 feet, on a Smyrna canvas backing of seven strips assembled to be one piece before any stitching began, it features approximately 1,260,000 stitches in French wool.〔Times Star - Alameda, CA June 26, 1951 "Fabulous Needlepoint Rug To Be Exhibited Soon"〕 Research done prior to its completion revealed no record of any needlepoint rug of the proportions of the Badding Rug completed by any American citizen. This rug was credited in numerous news articles to be a masterpiece in needlepoint. Like other rare or unique works of art, it is priceless.〔Courier Journal – Walnut Creek, CA July 5, 1951 “Needlepoint Rug Valued at $30,000 Will Be Exhibited”〕 The Badding Rug was compared to one owned by Queen Mary that was fashioned of six completed strips sewn together.〔Oakland Tribune –Oakland, CA June 28, 1951"San Leandro Woman Makes $30,000 Rug"〕

==Planning==
Badding devoted a year of research, planning and design following the French tradition of rugmaking to assure the rug authentic in conception and execution.〔Times Star - Alameda, CA June 29, 1951 "Largest Needlepoint Rug to be Exhibited as Benefit for East Bay Children’s Hospital"〕 Lena Hostetter, a Berkeley artist, assisted by painting full size water color sketches to serve as a color guide for the needlework. The patterns were done first on graph paper, to scale, enlarged to full size, and interpreted in wool on canvas. Mabel Albright of Oakland assisted in research, material estimates and in assembling the canvas foundation strips.〔Almeda Times -Star Merry Go Round section Alameda, California July 14, 1951 “The Badding Rug Goes on Exhibit”〕
