The Twin Christmas Rag Quilts are done!

The Twin Christmas Rag Quilts are done! 

This weekend was absolutely lovely! Sunny and 70 degrees both days and I was able to finish some of the yard work before old man winter shows up. After the sun went down last night I sat down at the sewing machine again and stitched until my eyes started going cross-eyed. LOL. Back up this morning to finish this lovely set and spent the day washing/drying them. 

This is the first one.

This is the second one folded on the chair.

I really love the way they turned out!

Custom orders can be placed at my Etsy shop. Christmas is right around the corner!

November Project #1

Project # 1 is for 2 Twin size Rag Quilts and 2 matching pillow shams in Red and Green Christmas fabrics. It has taken me a couple of weeks to gather the fabrics, pre-fringe the squares and sew the sandwiches.  

 Last night I sewed the 2 pillow shams up. I will put the backing on them after I get the 2 quilts done.

 Here is the layout for the first quilt.

 So far what I have finished today. I like hanging the strips on my clothesline in the basement.

Stay tuned for more on this project!

Completed UFOs this Summer

I have been so busy I have neglected my blog! Well I don't see how people can keep up with social connections sometime. I can't seem to keep it going like I had planned. 

Earlier this summer I finished a stack of UFO quilt tops! They are all listed for sale on Etsy and need good homes. 

UFO projects

No I did not fall off the side of the earth! So much has been happening at Ashlawnfarms Rag Quilt Creations lately that I don't know where to start!

I have completed many UFO projects-here is one that I will be keeping.

Others will be posted later.


I also re-opened my rag quilting cutting services in February. That is going well and keeping me on my toes.

In March I lost my dear Grandmother, so the last few weeks have been difficult in that respect.

Spring arrived pretty early this year and I have had to mow the yard 3 times now! My calendars from years past say that the first few days of April is when I have mowed for the first time that spring. This is such a different spring! Not complaining though!

Happy New Year 2012

Happy New Year from Ashlawnfarms! As the holidays are coming to a close it is time to start new goals for the new year. One of my goals is to destash many of the fabrics taking up room in my fabric closet. Today I listed on Etsy many listings of minky squares that I am parting with from my old cutting services. There are many listings to choose from. 

For Christmas I gave my niece and nephew homespun traditional quilts.
