Some Fun New Rag Quilts ~

So I added a couple of rag quilts to my store today and before I knew it...I had already sold one of them!  I did a little happy dance at that point.  When it comes to me and my work...well, I'm not always confident in myself so it's nice when I find that other's really like my stuff, too!  In fact, I thinks that's why I don't always blog...because really, who cares what I have to say?

Anyways, enough about my weirdness!  Here are the two new rag quilts!

Sugar Sweet Baby Rag Quilt {SOLD}:

This one is part of my new Reversible Collection!

Reminds me of the fun colors at a candy shop!

Basket Full of Cherries Baby Rag Quilt:

Part of my Traditional Collection

It screams summertime!

Hope you are all having a WONDERFUL Evening!

Give Me A Break...

Oh wait...I think I just took one...(from my blog, that is)!



Out of the 5 members in our family we almost have a birthday a month from December through May (maybe we should have one more baby to fill up the February slot...um, nope)...and let's not forget Baby Jesus' big birthday day right in the mix of all that!  So by the middle of April I'm pretty much just done with thinking.  Not to mention the end of the schoolyear/beginning of summer craziness that makes me feel like I'm running a marathon in flip-flops.  I know that all of you mama's out there feel me on that one!  With all that said, don't mind me and all my update posts these next few days/weeks (whenever I get to them)!  So let the updating begin...




Here a little "Work in Progress" and finished product I just fell in love with!

Doesn't my Bliss pincushion by Warm n' Fuzzies look lovely with the Strawberry Fields fabric?

And after lots of cutting, sewing and snipping here the finished rag quilt ready to go:

That's all for now folks...

I've been wanting to post these AMAZING photos for the last week but between signing up my oldest for her first year of high school next year, 3 dentist appointments, a soon to be 3 year old who has decided to test out what it's like to be in the "Trying Three's" club and me just not having the mental capacity to attempt to think...I am just now posting them!  This last week has just not been super swell.

Anywho, on to better things!  The wonderful Miss Ashley of Mud Goddess is now using two of my rag quilts as part of her props in her photo shoots.  Can I just say that I LOVE the way they look in her photos!  So exciting and I am truly honored to have my quilts used in her beautiful photography.

Here are a few of the photos:

And look at that baby... ADORABLE!  Makes me want another one.  April Fools! 

But really, that sweet baby IS precious.

Hope you all enjoyed! 

Have a BEAUTIFUL Weekend!

Pop Garden = YUM!

I LOVE Pop Garden....

In STORE Now!

Hope you are all having a SUPER Weekend! :-)

Going a Little More Traditional...

Like most people (at least I think most people...I mean there are 31 flavors at Baskin Robbins), I'm a fan of variety.  Of course, I usually want all the varieties that are available but none the less I love variety.  With that little rant of blah, blah, blah...let me intoduce you to my newest style of rag quilts.  The Traditional Collection...

While I LOVE my Minky Collection of rag quilts, I wanted to create something a little more traditional with the rag quilts of yesteryear being my inspiration.  I also wanted to give my customers a variety of prices which led me in the direction of these lovely creations...

So here ya go:

(You can find them in my Store...yep, I'm shamelessly promoting my store!  And all in parentheses...I'm pretty cool like that, yo!)

The front of the quilts are made with designer fabrics.  The back has a solid muslin backing.  Kind of like a mullet...except it's party in the front...business in the back! 

Alright, I'm done with this silliness...Peace Out!  Okay, really I'm done....

Oh Darla...

So, I really have been sewing a little!  These past few weeks...okay MONTHS...have been so busy that I find myself only dreaming up new rag quilts and not really having much time to get behind the sewing machine to create them!

I have gotten a few new quilts in the store including the new Darla Baby Rag Quilt Blanket that I am pretty sure is now one of my top 3 favorites ever! 

Here she is:

The Darla Baby Rag Quilt Blanket:

I have also added 3 rag quilts from the All Star 2 fabric collection!  Here ya go:

All Star 2 Baby Rag Quilt Blanket in Green, Brown and Blue

All Star 2 Baby Rag Quilt Blanket in Orange, Brown and Blue

All Star 2 Baby Rag Quilt Blanket in Blue, Brown and White

And now...I must go clean the house!  Oh Joy!

Have a BLESSED Day!
