This Weeks Rag Quilting Project -Day 2

 Tonight after work I was able to sew up the pillow and clip the edges....here it is before washing. As you can see -the lint is pretty plentiful on these chenille and minky fabrics.

 

 

The pink and brown look great together!

 

I laid out the design again....I may switch it one more time to even out the light and darker pinks. More to come tomorrow....

 





Rag Quilted Bible Covers Spring 2013

 

 

A few years ago I wrote instructions on how to make a Rag Quilted Bible/Book Cover. Since then I have been making some and offering them for sale.

 

 

This orange one was a custom order.

 

 

Earlier this year I tried making one in a patchwork style and it turned out super cute. I made 2 of these and they sold already.

 



 

Here are some pictures of ones before sewing:



 

I had cut out 36 Bible covers to make....

 

LOVE my homespuns!!

 

I always cut off more than I can chew......but I stuck with it!

 

And ones completed:

 

 

The inside with a Bible in it.

I have a few more to finish and will post pics of those when I am finished. In the meantime if you are eager to try out my copyrighted pattern you can find it on my epatternshoppe site. You can download the .pdf right from the site!

You will also find most of these Bible covers on Etsy or eBay if they have not sold yet.

The New Rag Purse Style / Five pounds down

I was able to complete a new purse in a new style of rag quilting this past weekend. I am in the editing phases of having the tutorial for this one ready. I hope to have it (the tutorial) complete this weekend and ready for sale.

Here is a picture of the purse and it is listed on Etsy for sale....

Today I am starting day 5 on The 17 Day Diet. I have lost 5 pounds! Yay me! I am finding this diet easier than I imagined to do. I was concerned with being hungry during the first few days, and to my surprise had very little hunger issues. I did not even eat my snacks I had allotted to me. I have 10 more pounds to go to meet my goal. Five more pounds come off after that to meet my mid BMI range.  

For exercise I have been doing some Yoga and weight training. I will be doing some running and weight training this afternoon with a co-worker. I hope I can keep up!

Have an excellent day!
